Hunter,
The first place that I found on the Web that describes wheel bearing packing is
at http://www.championtrailers.com, but I found others by "Asking Jeeves".
http://www.askjeeves.com or http://www.aj.com.

Again, one of my motivations is to know that the job is done right. If you aren't
watching, someone could easily skip doing the job altogether and you'd not know
for a long time. Even that quicky oil change place, are you SURE that they even
drain the old oil?

BTW: most places that change oil will accept your old oil. I personally use a
250-gallon oil tank and call an outfit to pump it when it gets full. Cost is only
about $25.00.
