[VAC] Re: Re Packing Wheel Bearings

[Jim Dunmyer <jdunmyer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

GQ,
 If you don't clean the bearing first, you can't inspect it. After
having cleaned and packing my bearings just a year and 10,000 miles ago,
I'd have bet money that they were OK. One most certainly was NOT OK, and
I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't cleaned it.

A bearing packer is OK, but unnecessary, IMO. You'd have to dedicate a
grease gun to wheel bearing grease, and I think everyone should know how
to pack a bearing by the "scoop & goop" method anyway. :-)
