Does anyone have a procedure to grease the wheel bearings? Does it involve removing the caliper, or is there a way to work around having to do that?

Thanks,
~Eric

Do they need to be replaced when u do wheel bearings? And do the kits include them?


When you do bearings..... oh, I am not sure if I understand, but if you are going to grease them, you dont need to remove them. If you are going to chance the bearings, you have to chance them.

The bearing consist of two rings and balls or rollers between them. The races are the outter ring of the bearing. I hope someone can explain better what the races are.

Kits usually do include them.
