When wheel bearings are replaced/repacted with grease, do both front wheels have to be done or is it just a one wheel at a time process?

    The front wheel bearings on your 2001 Chevrolet Lumina are sealed bearings, they would never be "repacked". Replacement is required if a bearing becomes noisey or develops excess "free play". One side at a time may be replaced if that is all that is necessary to correct the problem.
