Not yet, want to, around 15F out, getting to 8 tonight and have 30-50mph winds. I was out in it yesterday and that sucked.
I greased them up for now, they are silent and feel good compared to before. I'll try to get the other side too and do both.
Note I did not take off the dust shield and caliper mount, no real need, a tad easier if you do, but no real need.

Got to it today, maybe took 2 hrs tops (left side), including a trip to the parts store to get a replacement grease fitting that I broke. I took my time, if I pushed it hard I could have been done easily in less than an hour.
The grease fitting that came with it is very fragile! it is aluminum! It is the 6mm one if you ever need a replacement.
