[Healeys] Replace bearings?

[Bob Spidell]

My front wheel bearings have 170K miles and AFAIK they have never been replaced.  Gone through a couple sets of rear 
ones, though.

Gotta admit, I thought the original poster was referring to king pins; can't believe he'd need new stub axles at less 
than 70K miles.
