Durandal Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Do new rear wheel bearings need to be packed with grease or add some between the oil seals and the bearing? All I can find in the manual is this "Coat MP grease to the oil seal lip." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 How do you pack a sealed wheel bearing? That's the whole point they are sealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Pack them in grease, hi temp bearing grease is best NO! NO! The bearings come pre packed with the right amount of the right type of grease. just fit them, don't try and take them apart or fiddle with them.

Durandal Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 OK so I cleaned up the hubs after getting them out of the assemblies. I uploaded some images of both hubs to show the condition they are in. There is no play side to side when they mate up with the axle splines. Do you think the hubs are good enough to reuse? http://imgur.com/HZQJX55 http://imgur.com/b2KLV9C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
