Can someone school me on wheel bearings?

[AirSpeed]

I just replaced the rear bearings in mine. I had to do the seals as they were leaking into my brakes. It's a fairly easy job, not as intimidating as it sounds. While my axles were out I noticed the wear surface for the bearings which is the axle itself, were worn. Instead of replacing the axles I used "repair bearings", they move the bearings in a little to wear on a fresh section of the axles. I ended up with two different types of bearings, one was sealed and the other lubed by the gear oil. They both worked perfect. Just make sure you have the rear on jack stands and make sure you have a bearing puller or slide hammer to get the old bearings out. I couldn't find anything in my shop the same size as the new bearings to press them in until I noticed the front wheels on my floor jack looked perfect so I popped on off and used it to seat the new bearings.
