I had read about repacking bearings and probably was shown how to in a high school shop class, but when I attempted this job under the tutelage of someone who does this for a living I was surprised how many mistakes I was making - there is a real technique for this and the guy who was helping me was extremely diligent in ensuring NO contamination got into the bearings - I felt like I was in surgery. Packing is the right term to use too as the grease must be very well packed in with no air spaces. The novice tends to use lots of grease and makes a big mess.
