Default Front wheel bearings

I downloaded the Ford scheduled maintenance guide for my 2000 Mustang and I haven't found anything indicating when to repack the front wheel bearings. Did they use some synthetic wheel bearing lubricant that doesn't need replaced? Has anyone had front wheel bearing failure? If so, how many miles did you have on the car when the bearing failed?

the wheel bearing is a sealed unit and doesn't need to be repacked like it did on older cars.

Yea like stated before its a sealed bearing. The actual unit is the bearing/hub assembly and no just loose bearings in rotors like foxbodies

Idk about a how to, but its simple man, take the wheel off, take the rotor off. Theres a hub with a black dust cap. Pop that cap off and theres a big nut. Remove that and the hub is free. Replace it with the new part and torque accordingly. You're done
