Getting the old bearing out of the hub was all my 12 ton press (and sledge hammer) could do. I'm not interested in a redeux.
Right now, I'm going to repack the bearing with real grease without removing the existing grease with solvent.
kind of a split the difference approach! *laughs*

If you're not interested in a redux, remove the original grease and repack the bearing. It's not that much extra work, and considering the stress the bearings are under, splitting the difference doesn't sound like the best idea.
