4x front wheel hubs

[SwiftRunner]

a couple of years ago I ran across a California forum "I hate Mud" which was full of arrogant, crazy obnoxious postings. I got the gist that one should repack the front wheel bearings if you drive in water above them. I was wondering about repacking the bearings since my 4runner has 160,000 miles. I am not the original owner, either. Any erudite thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

It couldant hurt. I inspect/ re grease mine at least once a year.

It's a lot of work, isn't it?

Yes, there is quite a bit of dis-assembly involved to be able to do it properly.
And checking/draining the diff is a good thing to do at the same time.

Crazy obnoxious?
Check/repack is a good idea after submersion, yes.

Thanks for the replies. Thank God for Labor Day, I've had enough of work.
