Been there twice, replaced the bearing and seal. The third time I
decided to change the grease to a oil bearing, so I can check the
level at the hub. Easy conversion at litle increase in price as to
just replacing the bearings and seals, but no problem since on two
cross country trips including Baja California.

It was hardly noticeable but I called a friend of mine who has a
local truck shop. I've been down in my back and hurt it again last
week taking out the Sharp microvave. He pulled the wheel and checked
the bearing and it needed replacing. I had the seal replaced also.
He said he normally has to do this job on the side of the road. He
said it appeared to be the original bearing and Stemco seal. I had
him do the other side even though he said it was ok. I told him now
was the time not later on the side of the road. The oil level was
fine on both sides.
