DIY Wheel bearing?

"Be sure to pre grease pack any axle bearing that gets differential oil lubrication. "

I have no idea what that means. Maybe I should do like you did and take the axle to a shop and have them press in the bearings?

Some bearings are pre greased and sealed too. Others are open and sold pretty much dry. Dont bank on the gear oil getting there and protecting that open bearing. Pack it full of bearing grease. The shop that presses that bearing on might not tell you this so I mentioned it.
