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 ...

If the disc brakes were factory installed then you may have sealed bearings as that was a standard with many factory installed systems.
Dexter had Rotors that were separate from hubs so remove caliper, remove rotor and then your ready to remove hub. Kodiak has rotor /hub all 1 piece. No mounting or back plates need to be remover. This is based on 8000# axles as I have owned both. Kodiak much easier to work on without busted knuckles. Randu
