Actually, I like the hand method best. Put enough grease in your palm and whack the bearing against it several times till you see the grease is packed in. I've got more control that way.

Wheel bearings are so easy to repack that I can even do it. And I studied
History! For the terminally
challenged there is even a device you can put the bearings in and pump
grease from a grease gun through
'em. This is a good technique as it forces out the old grease in the
process. Now, reassemble the wheel and
torque down the bearings to factory spec. You could do it easily if
shown a time or two or walked through it a
couple of times. Then again, you can pay for it which may be best.
Not difficult but almost tedious. Your call.
