  • Thats no way to pack a bearing , not enough grease , I can see a return on this repair .Expert village what a joke

  • DO NOT do what this idiot says!! That is not how you repack a roller bearing!! What you do is take a glob of wheel bearing grease and put it in your palm, then tap the bearing on your palm till you see it squeeze out the top, you will see the bear fully PACKED and not lightly greased like this moron has done!! This guy is the VILLAGE IDIOT!! NOT an expert at all! yikes....

  • That's not only the wrong way to grease a bearing, It's being lazy and will end up shortening the life of the bearing and most likely a costly repair when it fails and burns the wheel to the ground from overheating. Expert Foolage.

  • great video how how not to pack wheel bearings way to go chief

  • Torque wrenches are just boy-toys too, you can just tighten by hand to manuf specifications.

  • Who taught you how to do it the wrong way? A grade 5 kid?

  • Clean bearings. Yes do them all why get dirty twice, with a palm full of wheel bearing grease, scoop and drag the large end of the bearing through the grease until it is squeezing out the smaller end. Rotate each bearing so all bearings are fully packed!

    This guys way is not packing.

  • Lol, them boy toy bearing packers serve there purpose, and they do it alot more thorough then you!!! However your way works ok to I guess. Although you didn't PACK the bearing, only lubricated it...

  • Good lord this dude's an idiot... Bearing packers... Meh, they're just a toy. Who needs wheel bearings anyway... Next time I'll just spray some WD40 on em' and call it a day! ;)

    And this guy is an "expert"... This is why I do all my own work... Pack your wheel bearings "Nathans way" and you'll be replacing bearings every 50 miles...

  • Nice, I was looking for a video on how to lubricate my brake rotor!

  • LOL! Way to set those fresh greased cups on the ground. For proper installation instructions, reference SKF Wheel Bearing
