Cost to re-pack wheel bearings on Class A?
Has anybody paid to get their wheel bearings re-packed on a Class A? Prices? We got a quote for $450 for all our bearings (we're 40-feet 2008 HR Endeavor RR8R Chassis, 2 tires up-front, 4 tires in ...

Boy, I could sure be wrong, but I don't think your wheel beariings require "packing" with grease. The front and rear wheels should be oil bath already? On the front they'll pop off the hub caps (the caps on the wheel hubs, not the hub caps) flush out the old oil and put in new oil. If the caps and plugs are in good condition, no parts are needed unless they use seals instead of silicone to reseal them. On the rear, the wheel bearings should get their oil from the differential. They'll drain and refill it.
Again, I could be wrong, but I wouldn't have expected any 40' DP chassis from at least 2005 or newer, to have greased wheel bearings. Let see what others say that are more familiar with this specific chassis.
And, if you're in the NW part of the States, I'd take it Pacific Diesel to have the work done. They may not be the cheapest, but good and quick service especially in their very large facility just outside of Vancouver, WA. They have several places in Oregon and Washington. They changed one of my cracked wheel caps on the front last week and changed the oil in both.
