Wow, I might be the winner at mileage here? I'm sitting at 230,000k!
Everything is clean and running smooth except a few paint chips. Only had 2 owners who were good at maintaining it.

You repacked all of them? That’s very smart. I didn’t think the bearings were that accessible?

Very cool. For the front, how did you remove the wheel speed sensor on the outside?

[Peacebay] leave the sensor alone do the same as the rears sandwich it between 2 wood planks and use a piece of Wood and a hammer to separate the 2 vice versa for re install

Default Packing hub with grease

I too was surprised to hear about being able to pack grease into a axle hub bearing. I'd assume this would be a pro active method of avoiding axle bearing failure if it could be accomplished fairly conveniently. It's the first time I heard about it.
