I have a 1994 Nissan 4X4 and I'm just learning to do the work myself and I want to replace the front brakes and pack the bearings, Is it difficult to remove the rotors and repack the bearings? and is there any tricks to it?Last month I took on the task of removing the transmission and replacing the clutch, throw out bearing front seal on the transmission, oil pan gasket and front timing chain cover along with the front main seal and everything seems to work great and the truck is now oil leak free.I'm just worried about the screwing up the brakes, is this something I should be able to do?ThanksRob

It's a good idea to repack the bearings. Check the grease seals while doing all this, and lube the lip of the seals before putting them back on so they don't burn through. If they are bad, just replace them.

It's not that hard. If you did a clutch, you can do this for sure.
