Out of curiosity for those of you that just replace the bearing, Are you replacing the race too?
I was always under the impression that bearings and races were matched. If you have an old bearing and race they have worn together so repacking was ok. If you replace the bearing and not the race it will wear out the bearing faster.
Because races are pressed in its more work then just repacking a good bearing.
Besides. I have never had a correctly packed bearing go bad. Ever.
