68 8 3/4 greaseing the wheel bearings

How hard is it to just repack the rear wheel bearings?
I am going through the brakes in my '68 New Port. Replaced the pinion seal and thought I should repack the rear bearings while I am under here. Can I just pull the axles out and repack the bearings and replace a new seal or is there more to complicate the matter? Thanx for any input.

You can grease them. as you said just pull the axles . Replace the seals too..

Don't forget to reset the axle preload You should be able to move the axle in and out about the thickness of a dime..
