I've seen attachments to grease guns for this, but how often should it be done?

How often to re-lube wheel bearings?

We are talking "front wheel bearings" aren't we? Rears are lubricated with the differential gear lube.

On my own cars, I do it every time I do the brakes.

I assumed he meant the front bearings. For rears, the change interval is "when you've got an axle seal leak." 8-)
Cheers,
Your 2004's are sealed units and do not require repacking AFAIK. I think that the sealed units were introduced on the sn-95 (1994) mustangs. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Prior to that you needed to periodically repack your front wheel bearings. I, like other people responding to this thread, would repack my front wheel bearings when I did front brake work.
Wrong, rear bearings on most fords are sealed and not lubed by gear oil. :)
Not on my Mustang.
