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 |

leslie tools makes a pretty cool aparatus for greasing up a bearing, but a blob in your palm works just as well. be sure to remove all the old grease from the hub. mixing different types is a no-no. just take a good look at the old races. if they are not pitted or blued, leave them alone.
if you are going to reuse your old bearings, clean them and dry them. put a golf ball size blob in your left hand. scrap the opened/large side of the bearing across the edge of the grease to push it into the cage. when fresh grease come out of every hole you are done. |
