I am in the process of packing the front bearings to complete my changeover to five lugs and carrera front suspension.
What is the preferred lube to pack these with? Thanks |

I replaced the bearings/races.
I picked up a set of hubs and figured it would be best just to freshen them totally. I finished packing and reinstalling the hub and rotors on the strut and tried to mount the caliper(boxster) but the adapter bolts I have are the wrong size so that ended my work for the night. The Mobil 1 stuff seems to be pretty good, I think it was the same stuff I scaped out of the old one so I didnt bother going overboard on removing every last bit of the old stuff |
