2000 axle hub replacement
I have 4 replacement hubs for my c5. Now IM looking for someone to replace them for me. One person is telling me the hubs are sealed? I have new ones to replace the old ones. 120000 miles. Im replacing the rotors, calipers, pads, etc. Can I replace the hubs? I dont want to repack the ones I have just want to put on new ones....Is there a problem with that?

IMO you most likely don't have to replace the calipers, but without seeing them no one could tell you with any certainty. The time to replace them is if they spread, which usually only happens in racing. You can rebuild if they have not spread, Then you can paint them to make them look good.
The ball joints on the other hand, take a look at them and see if you need to replace them. Also the tie rods. Rockauto.com carries both.
