Repack Bearings, Dexter Axles w/Disc Brakes ---- Difficult?

I'm trying to get someone to repack bearings here in Tyler, TX area and they don't seem to return calls. Is it just not worth it to them, or very, very difficult? Don't understand. How difficult ...

No personal experience with these but I can't imagine it would be that different than repacking the bearings on a car with disk brakes. You will have to remove the brake caliper to get the hub off. If you need to press the shoes back in, use a large C-clamp and push the piston back in. You should not have to open the bleeder valve at all.
