<VV> repacking front wheel bearings (LM)

[Cliff Tibbitts]

In order to repack the inner bearing, which you should do, you will need to
remove the seal.  You will probably destroy the seal when you remove.  These
are pretty much standard fare and any FLAPS should have them.  I know
because I just did mine last week.  The inner bearing on driver's side was
so badly worn, I ended up replacing all four bearings and the seals.

I hate to sound like a dopey newb here but, when you repack the front wheel
bearings (on a LM), do you need to replace any seals or anything?  Or do I
only need some grease? TIA
