In his message about E28 Lower Control Arm Replacement ...
Steven J Bernstein described the replacement of the front wheel bearing
and the problems with the seals.
My question for the combined wisdom of the net is:
Is it NECESSARY to repack the "sealed" bearings.
In other words, would a dealer mechanic repack the bearings or would
he/she unwrap the bearing and place it on the axle?
I have heard many opinions about repacking the bearings (use --
synthetic) for racing applications.
Thanks for your advice.
