How often to repack bearings?
What is the proper schedule for repacking front wheel bearings? I have no clue if this or any other brake work has ever been done or when it might have. I just crossed 100k a couple weeks ago and I rarely hear people doing any maintanance with their axles. im wondering how often people repack their bearings. Also, what kind of mainanance does the 8.8 rear need? Mine seems to be in good shape, no noise or anything. Thanks.

to be totally honest with you it should be done every time the front brakes are done. i like most are in too big a hurry to bother with that when we replace the brake pads this is off the top of my head but i would say 12-15k is when you should do the bearings as for the rear end i think it is 12k to drain and replace. i would do it the old fashioned way of taking the cover off for the rear just so you can inspect everything as far as doing the front diff quick oil change shops have pumps that suck the old fluid out and dump fresh in
