I recently did my yearly service of filling the tires, I've literally never opened up the wheel hub of a bicycle in my entire life
I have had my frame about 16 years, when i repacked crank bearings I also cleaned and repacked wheel bearings. You have to do in an area where you can track down a lost ball, but they run nice with some lithium grease.
Those ball bearings are loose for a reason. Because you never fuckin open the hub for any reason
I have a small jars of bearings for my BBs and another for my freehubs. I'm not afraid :)
