Hubs And Bearings

Just a good quality disc brake grease. Although I'm pretty sure all the grease is rated for disc brakes anymore. The rotors should have the races pressed in but you still have to pack the bearings. I've got a bearing packer to use with a grease gun but I usually still pack it by hand.

Yeah, no grease required. Quoting myself from when I changed mine 5 years ago...
Just updating on the final outcome.
I ended up getting the Timken HA599528 wheel bearing hubs. I also caught a steal on front and rear EBC USR slotted rotors on Amazon. Installed them all this past weekend and the change is remarkable. Changing the hubs was very easy as I didn't have to deal with front axle shafts (2WD). One big axle nut (36 mm) and off they came. No cotter pin, no nothing. Torque was 185 ft-lbs. The noise is completely gone as is the weird tracking I would get during sweeping turns. Both old bearings were dry as chip, when spun by hand.
