I only have two axles and it's a PITA to do. Pull the hubs and clean the old grease out. Pop out the seals, Clean bearings, pop the seal back in, assemble. I can't ever seem to have enough clean rags. Grease always ends up somewhere where I don't want it. Maybe it's just me but I find it the worst maintenance thing to do on my 5er.
Ha, funny you mentioned never having enough rags! I have a pile of newspaper, then a roll of paper towels, and cloth rags for last wiping, before moving on to next hub.:C When hand packing I have a garbage can with liner right by my work area.
I use the EZs, unless further service is needed. Yup, still paper towels, and rags.
