Anyone repack their own wheel bearings?

I've never used a packer. I'm afraid it would miss a spot.

Put on gloves.
Fill palm of hand with grease.
Drag the big side of the bearing through the grease a few times until grease squirts out the other side.
Rotate and repeat.

Take the time for attention to detail.

Different. Timken 30211M and 30212M if I remember correctly. I changed mine out but kept the old ones as spares. For me it was worth it to order name-brand, YMMV.
I ordered these but there is a seal for the outer bearing. I am trying to avoid buying at Mitsubishi dealership as high dollar. Do you know which bearing is the outer bearing and where to get the seals aftermarket?

I can't see where I ordered the seals so I assume I just reused them.

The seal will be on the inner not outer , there is a gasket on the free wheeling hub that is pretty easy to make or reuse the old one.
Seal should be 72mm x 96mm x 8mm and total with lip 12mm
