If I wasn't desperate to do my tyre change this week, I would have taken pics and done a guide.

However, if you can't be bothered with doing it yourself, there is one thing you can do when you go to the garage. Take some Moly 60 paste, grease + brush, brake cleaner and a rag. Once you've watched them safely take off your tyre, you can grease the spline with the Moly 60. Then squirt some brake cleaner onto the spacer and clean that. By this time they should just be finishing balancing the wheel. Put some grease on the brush and liberally apply to the dust seal and bearings.

You can tell if your bearings are on the way out when they balance the wheel. Just listen for a rumbling sound.

Edit: it's probably worth replacing the dust seal. Takes a few seconds
