Given that I've not packed a front wheel bearing since high school, I 
checked the service manual, which recommends repacking the grease cups every 
6,000 miles.  I then read that, on a disc wheel car (as mine was originally, 
and converted to wires with Dayton K-A series wheels, rather than 
replacement with wire wheel hubs) there is a special tool to remove the 
grease cups.

So, is there some trick to getting the cups off without damaging them?  I'm 
also assuming from the description in the manual that one does not pull the 
nuts and the bearings themselves for packing.  Can someone provide the 
procedure for pulling the cups and packing the bearings?

Thanks.
