Yep, what James said.
I did mine about 3 weeks ago. I don't have one of those fancy-schmancy wheel bearing greasing tools, and frankly I don't think they'd be nearly as funny as getting your hands all greezy (Actually I wear surgical gloves. I know, kinda like taking a shower wearing a raincoat (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ). Slap a good size dollop of wheel bearing grease in the palm of your hand and press the contact surface of the wheel bearing into the grease until it's oozing out both ends of the bearing (rotate the bearing as you go). I try to pack the entire wad of grease into the bearing, you'd be surprised how much they hold. Clean the hell out of the hubs, wipe off the excess grease from the bearing and proceed as specified by James for tightening. |
