I have no mechanical knowledge.
I did replace my front wheel bearings about 4 years ago.
My understanding is that the rear last longer and I have told by several
mechanics that you don't open the rear wheel bearings up until they go. I
have some rear German made wheel bearings ready for use but no need for
them yet. I am not having them installed until the rear wheel bearings go.
