Not big deal, just loosen up the caliper bolts and twist/wiggle the calipers to get the pads backed off a little then give the wheel a spin, it will be free enough to ck the bearings, it should spin almost as free as on a balancer

Sounds good ! I have always felt my bearing closely when I change tires. Make sure there are no rough sports or strange feeling to them. Also a needle grease tip works to keep them full of lube.  :thumb:

I tried that needle grease job a couple times I suppose I suppose it got grease on the bearings but it spit it back out after a good high speed blast  :lol:, and for the price of new bearings I'l just replace them if they start getting rough

a well greased bearing should have a little drag to it,  a bearing with no grease in it will spin really freely ( frictionless bearing ) just because it spins free with no noise doesnt mean it has no grease left in it??
