Not wheel bearing related but CV greasing related � I just did this last week
on the rears, as I've had problems with them running dry, then having to
replace them too often. I got the usual "kit" pieces for doing this and it went
very well. I'll be doing it again in another 15K miles or so, just for maintenance
and to avoid the expense of replacement. Used Mobil 1 synthetic. It's such an
easy-to-do project and only takes an hour at most, no excuse for me not to not do it.
