That is a good idea, but keep a full set on hand including new seals and cotter pins. That way, if you don't use up one for an on the road emergency, you've got your next re-pack and bearing change ready to go.

But the bearing sets aren't much good without a good jack, wood cribbing, tools and grease. Rags-on-a-roll and solvent are good, too.

Mechanic's nitrile gloves are great to have if you're repacking bearings - keeps the mess and cleanup to a minimum.
