Do it the sooner the better, you never know what tomorrow brings, Right?
BTY, do you still have that '07 Tahoe? You may have noticed that I replaced the drivers side Valve cover to correct a known issue with the old style covers. I did not research the model years correctly and I already had the new style, I had ordered the replacement so I put it on with just the drain hole mod. If you are considering changing your valve cover, you can have mine , it is the new style and all it needs is a new gasket. Let me know , you have first shot !

I'll take you up on that, thanks.

I never used the bearing pack tool. Doing it by hand you can clearly see when it's been packed properly. Of course, we didn't have the nitrile gloves back then, so it could get kinda messy.

That mess is part of the ritual. I can at least continue the tradition when I repack the bearings in my teardrop.

Craftsman?

Mine are. I received a basic Craftsman set of wrenches, sockets, etc in a toolbox for Christmas in 1980. I was racing BMX at the time. In 40 years I’ve broken 2 pieces from that set, both from severe misuse.
