Progress' I remember as a kid in the early 50s, I'd go with my dad, and his 54 Mercury, to the garage for a tune up. Lube, oil, filter, plugs, points and repack bearings.. Thick heavy grease... This was standard procedure in those days.. Today bearings last forever. Last time I had to replace rear bearings was on a 67 Ford I bought second hand with super high mileage on it.. The bearings just plain wore out. They were the kind that couldn't be packed...
