I think it should be every 30K miles for front bearings. I forget which brand grease I picked up at auto zone. I want to say it was something like Chevron or something but it definitely stated it was compatible with the grease GM specifies in my service manual. I don't think the procedure has changed any since you last did it in 1980.
Jack car up.
Remove tire.
Remove wheel bearing dust cap.
Remove cotter pin.
Remove spindle nut.
Remove wheel bearing slotted washer.
Remove outer wheel bearing.
Replace spindle nut.
Remove Rotor from spindle (Do this in a way that the inner bearing will snag on the spindle nut so that the bearing and dust seal separate from the rotor and remain on the spindle)
Remove spindle nut, inner wheel bearing, and dust seal.
Clean out the grease really well from inside the rotor, and off of the spindle.
At this point it would be a good idea to have the rotor turned if needed.
Check outer race of inner and outer bearings, pressed inside rotor, for wear and damage. Replace if needed.
Generously apply the new grease to the inside of the rotor making sure to coat both races and the side walls in between the races.
Repack inner and outer bearings with new grease. (You can buy one of those nifty little
bearing packing tools to do this, or you can do it by hand.)
Install inner bearing.
Install dust seal.
Generously apply new grease to spindle.
Install rotor back onto spindle.
Insert outer bearing.
Install washer.
Install spindle castle nut and torque to appropriate specifications.
Install new cotter pin through castle nut and slot in spindle.
Install dust cap.
Install tire.
Lower Vehicle back to ground.
Test drive car.
