I just finished 30 sets including the wheels and coulters of my no-till drill. In most cases the inside bearing failed first because moisture and dirt got past the seal. I bought a $24 Lisle bearing packer which is a container which holds grease under a piston. As you push down on the bearing with a handle it forces grease uniformly up through the bearing. I"ve also seen $7-8 versions that use a grease gun to force grease through the bearing. I tried to find the old fashioned sticky wheel bearing grease I used to use but apparantly it is no longer made. A reputable auto parts store recommended the Castrol blue grease as the best currently available. One final thing I did was to drill and tap each hub for a grease fitting so I can push grease through the bearings and out to the seal periodically.
