Wheel bearing re packed , price?
What should it cost to have this done! Double axle! Last time I had it done, it was $200.00. I went to a dealer and they wanted 269.00? Thinking that's high! Any thoughts, other than do it myself, ...

When I purchased my 2007 Keystone Cougar piece of junk, I decided to check the bearing pack myself at about two years. I was amazed that all four of the bearings were nearly dry. They really only had about 1/4-1/3 of the grease they should have had. (Sorry - just venting about Keystone again).
I usually check mine at 1 or 2 years, then every 3 years after that. $250-$270 should include the following:
1. Remove the wheels/tires, drums, bearings and grease seals.
2. Inspect the brakes
3. Thoroughly clean the bearings of all residual grease, flush and dry.
4. Repack the bearings properly.
5. Replace the grease seals with new ones.
6. Install the bearings and hubs and PROPERLY adjust the bearing pre-load.
7. Install the wheels/tires and torque the lug nuts.
8. Adjust the brakes.
