Front Bearing ?

Post by Gene-C »

Hello All, I am replacing the front wheel bearings. I used my power washer to remove all the grease from the cavity between the inner and out bearings. Should I refill this cavity with grease or just pack the new bearings and re-install? Thank you, Trent

Repack and install would be my advice. That "extra" grease doesn't help any as far as I know.

Why use a powerwasher? When I did my rebuild I simply wiped out the cavity with paper towels and then sprayed with brake cleaner. wiped out again and repacked the bearings.
