The maintenance manual says to remove and repack the OEM front bearing as part of replacing the rotor and I am trying to understand why. I think it is because you have the opportunity. But, I have the zerk fittings on my hubs and shoot some grease in there annually with the axle bolts loosened - repacking the easy way. I am thinking that removing and replacing the hub without repacking, assuming it can be done cleanly, is all that I need to do - unless there is an obvious problem. What do you all recommend? Thanks.
