Correct way to pack a wheel bearing ....watch this

[Copperswilly]

The only thing I saw that you didn't appear to do was pack the bearing itself. Just rolling grease around the bearing isn't enough. To pack a bearing you need to press grease into the bearing housing until it comes all the way through to the other side

[Reefari]

Thanks for the comment,

Cheers Greg

Agree Bearing Buddies are the way to go.

[Reefari]

Don't know much about them, but they sound great, and would be worth investing in,

cheers Greg

[Reefari]

Cheers Greg

Bearing buddies coupled with the complimenting rear grease seal will save you maintenance and time and perhaps even a break down on the road. Well worth the small investment. Keeping a water tight hub filled with good marine grease is your bearings, races and spindles best friend. Happy fishing.

Good Comment, Bearing Buddies do sound good, will have to look into it,

Cheers Greg

You did not pack the bearing with grease, all you did was smear grease on top of it.

[Reefari]

Good point, hopefully the grease should work it's way into the bearings,

thanx that helped me out ever so much today!

[Reefari]

Thanks for the comments, and great to hear was a help. The hardest part is getting the bearings in and out, and use heaps of good quality marine grease,

Cheers Greg

Should have forced grease into the bearings by packing the bearings. They only smeared grease around the outside of the bearings.

[Reefari]

Good comment, what's the best way to pack the bearings? Any ideas?

Cheers Greg
