Unless you have a 25 ton hydraulic press and the special plates required to
take the hubs apart, you will not be able to grease the bearings.  The
easiest way is to buy regreased/rebuilt hubs from several Corvair vendors.
This is not an easy job even for pros.  Buy a rebuilt hub and just wait for
one to go bad!  It doesn't matter which side you buy as all you have to do
is drill a new hole for the emergency brake cable if you have the wrong
side.  You will have to swap the brake cylinder and brake shoes as well to
put the primary shoe toward the front and the self adjusters on properly.
