What an easy job! My father-in-law and I replaced the inner and outer front wheel bearings this weekend. What a terribly simply job! Toughest part was replacing the races (of course). I'm pleased to announce that it corrected all the weird noises I was hearing from my front end. My '84 ride smooth as can be now! I packed the bearings with Amsoil synthetic multi-purpose grease. Probably will now last the rest of the life of the van.
