How often is it necessary to repack the front wheel bearings. Is it a job that can be done by the owner in his home garage? Are there any speciality tools required?

Hi Len Ziska,

There are no specific time frame or mileage to repack the grease. If no leakages are visible, repacking is not necessary as the grease would not dry out.

Job can be done if you can handle mechanical repairs, removal and installation.

No special tools are required except for the correct wrench size to turn the adjusting nut.
