Wheel bearing change - couple quick questions

[fox-gt]

Getting ready to change my front wheel bearing for the first time.

What type of grease should I use?

I purchased the inner and outer bearing and the seal.

Do I basically try to get as much grease as possible into the bearings?

I took one off a mustang in the junkyard today (it already had the break off), it was pretty straight forward to take it off.

Is this a big task for a newbie?

Thanks.

Very easy... do yourself a favour and buy a bearing packer. They can be found cheap and will save you a mess!

When torqing the nut onto the hub, the trick i found to work the best is this. Torque the nut on with a 3/8" or 1/2" ratchet pretty tight, and back off 1/4 turn. This should be good to go.
