How do I repack bearings?

[CodePoet]

Hey everyone thanks to everyone who helped me last weekend with my questions about lifting my x. Anyway the guy at the alignment shop said I needed to repack my front wheel bearings. The problem is I don't know how to do this! I searched around but I had trouble finding anything that really helped. Any help?

Thanks
CP

are you asking how to remove them or actually just how to pack the grease in them?

Sorry I guess that my first post was kinda vague. I was curious how to remove them ? Is there anything I would need to be aware of? I have automatic hubs, when I do it (probably this weekend) I don't want to mess anything up even though i'm sure it's not a hard job.

Thanks!

i would invest i a haynes manual first, if not make sure you do one side at a time. i think the most important tools you will need are:2-3/8 inch hex locknut wrench (or do it the old fashion way) but the wrench is much easier. and 2nd a pair of snap ring pliers. once you remaove the brake caliper and hub remove the snap ring, axle spacer,outer locknutand washer then the inner lock nut. then youll have the bearing and cup. its really pretty simple you should have any problems.
