Interesting the problems that people have with wheel bearings. I have been driving for over 60 years and only twice had problems with wheel bearings. The first was in a 1935 Oldsmobile that I used in 1953 that had much underated ball races in the front. and the second was in a Standard 8 1954 model that I span on a wet road and bent a stub axle on the kurb.
Since then I have had many cars, all covering over 150000K and never even bothered to adjust or grease the wheel bearings. I spent my early years working in the motor trade doing just about every mecanical repair from suspensions, clutches, Gearboxes, Diffs, Re-rings and even rebored and sleeved an engine in the back yard. I gave up working on cars in 1974 (too dirty), electonics was much more fun, cleaner and paid better.
