Unit Bearing Seals

[WoodChuck]

I'm getting ready to do the ball joints on my truck and was wondering if the unit bearing seals were replaceable?

I got new axle seals but didn't think about the unit bearings till I looked at Carli's instructions.

Mine have been apart 4 times and never needed changing anything. I have about 87,000 hard miles on those unit assemblies and there still a okay. Hope this helps unless yours are leaking.

Thanks, mine are fine from what I can tell (after 150k fairly easy miles) but I haven't taken them apart yet.

I've read that some guys like to re-lube them while they're out, have you done anything like that?
