Rivet Pack

Packing bearings is not really that difficult. Easy to do by hand, but if you must, every auto parts store has a packer hanging in the tools section that works with a grease gun. They are cheap, but I never use one. Hand packing works fine and there is one less thing to keep up with. Use the best, probably the most expensive, grease you can find. Even the pricy stuff is under $6 a tub.
