Not a problem!

 

OOPS forgot to add, OSWEGO also known as MISC also known as XXXX

 

Thanks very much, would like to take care of them before my elk hunt

 

OKAY!

There is a sticky at the top of the page of this forum section.

Then XXXX formerly known as Oswego and then known as Misc made a thread here.
but... well... long story short he ended up as XXXX and all his Oswego threads turned to Misc and things are all messed up so I think he recreated this thread under XXXX with proper pictures.

HF has cheap presses that work nicely! Best of luck, enjoy your hunt.

ALSO, pack your new wheel bearings with good grease until the white cheap shit comes out of them.

 

DARN, he hasn't fixed the wheelbearing thread, have to go on whats in that thread.

I guess these are the ones he has fixed! or replaced or whatever

how does one pack grease into a sealed bearing? i've got one i need to install this week

 

Pull it apart and pack it.

 

doesnt that ruin the seal

 

No, it'll make more sense when you have one in your hands.

 

i do... LOL i glanced and picked at a few of the sealed parts but nothing came loose hahah

 

You have an o-ring and two seals, one seal is pressed onto the bearing assembly and seats against the hub, the other seal goes into the spindle/knuckle. The bearing assembly itself can be pulled apart.

That plastic insert comes out and you can pull the unit bearing apart.

 

Also known as " Lazy Ass that won't fix his threads "

 

lol ^

One last thing.

It's a "sealed" bearing in that it's a unit bearing assembly instead of the older style bearings on a spindle.

ah shiet so i need to press that plastic piece of? hopefully it'll come out by hand. off to the garage...

 

okay so i've got a 2wd. i read up on some posts and it mentions a seal. The seal they speak of is only for the 4wd models correct?
