Ah yes, forgot the grease.
I was thinking of ordering the parts from Pelican, but would it be worth it to go the dealership for these parts? I'd like to do the job as soon as possible, I'm driving to Boston on Tuesday and the noise is absolutely deafening on the highway...

Naw. Lindsay racing has a kit for MUCH cheaper than the dealer. I beleive it's everything you need (minus the grease) for $46.00. That includes bearings, races, and seals.

Freeze the races overnight in the freezer and heat the hubs in the oven to 350F for an hour before the install and the races will drop right into the hub with only a slight tap. My local Autozone rented free the kit to hammer in the races without ruining them, this is a must have IMO and will make the repair a fun one. I got the Lindsey kit it was the cheapest and came with all you need.

You can always go to your local part shop to avoid shipping. I paid 45 for everything. Bearings are bearings - you're not likely to see a huge difference. The ones I had on my 86 were Hecho en Mexico.
