    Need to do this pretty soon (rotors / pads).

    Guy at Wheel Works says I'm required to repack the wheel bearings but I haven't seen that done from what I've been reading or How-to videos. Is this necessary or is he playin with me?

    Thanks

    Some trucks are that way, maybe he isn't knowledgeable of the Tacoma 6 lug?

    I wouldn't call him a crook or a dumb ass, maybe misinformed?

    Unless he mistakenly assumed that your truck was 2WD ...in which case repacking the bearings during a front brake job is pretty much SOP.
