Nowdays you can get the entire hub assembly with the bearings already packed with grease. Seal in ziploc and put in safe place. I don't want to be on the side of the Bonne Carre bridge trying to 'hand-pack' bearings. I think you have all the safety equip. you need although I would add some of those giant channel locks. Last time I had one burn up I couldn't get the inside race off but some nice gentleman stopped and loaned us a pipe wrench. Good luck and hope you 'tear em up'...P.S. if you have bearing buddies(the little spring-loaded caps) , just barely keep a little positive pressure on them. I've got a buddy that insist on pumping the hell out of his bearing buddies to the point he blows out his inner seals.
