Additionally you can often buy some time by removing the axle...peeling back the rubber seals on the bearings (an exacto knife works well for this) and cram some fresh grease in the bearings. For the record as well you can use the axle and locknuts....some big washers....and the old shot bearings to press in new cartridges. I used to do this on my own hubs before I got the proper tools.
