Make sure you get good rotation and do not over lubricate. I go back and check after a few miles to make sure they have not loosened up. Reminded me I need to check the front wheel bearing on my Chevelle...
I'm going to give it a shot this weekend. I feel I've got enough info from all the help on this site to get it done correctly.
