Where exactly is the grease? Any pictures?
In fairness a hub seal is not really a difficult job, it's just getting to the thing. Drain axle oil (1 plug), wheel off (5 nuts), halfshaft off (5 bolts), pads out (2 pins), caliper off (2 bolts), 2 nuts off the hub and you are there. Dig it out and stick a new one in. Re-assemble, adjust, and refill the axle and you are there. In addition to your wheelbrace you'll need a ratchet, a 13mm socket, a 17mm socket, a hub spanner, threadlock, torque wrench and a new paper flange gasket and a hub lock washer. Probably take you no more than an hour, and what you save in garage bills you can spend on tools which are yours for life, or put the cash in your pocket if you already have the tools.
Good luck!

I did mine this weekend, only took 1 hour, new seal fitted and no more leaking onto brake disc. Really is an easy job. Have a go!
