    Robert, Drill a hole in the hub between the bearings and put in a grease fitting. Then pump in the wheel bearing grease, you'll get both bearings.

  • @Antonyg2100
    @Antonyg2100 7 місяців тому +2

    Might be too late but check a Redisleeve. Once the seal area where’s down too much it will start to leak oil. For most seal they will sell a redisleeve. It’s basically a metal bushing that slides over the sealing surface. They are made for this exact reason so u don’t need to replace the spindle or axle

  • @williambillwaynerobertson930
    @williambillwaynerobertson930 7 місяців тому +6

    Robert if they're oil bearings never put grease on them they're meant to run in oil. Always use what they run in grease will get to hot and gaule the bearing then freeze itself to the snout. Be safe guys hope things stay busy for ya👍🇺🇸

    • @warrenmichael918
      @warrenmichael918 7 місяців тому +5

      no it wont, grease in an oil hub will work the same way as oil does, they are the same bearings and race in them. The seal is the only difference and an oil seal will hold grease in just fine.
