I wish the 2wd hubs had a zerk fittings. I was actually looking at the back side and thinking about adding a zerk fitting.

Either SKF or Timken. I’ve always used SKF. Both are very good and the key is to NOT assume they’re pre greased. I always grease em up regardless.

Are you 2 or 4WD?

How do you grease up a sealed bearing assembly?? I never have because I didn't
know it was possible. Thanks

I was referring to only, any and all sealed grease bearing. Specifically, taking a press, dismantling the sealed bearing and individually lubricating each bearing and reassembling it, NOT


Apologies in advance for the crude sarcasm. It just seemed appropriate to justify my naive misunderstanding of the obvious.

OH !! Yeah, never done that. Didn't think it was ever necessary..
Have you run into sealed new bearings that were "dry" ??? Because that
would certainly suck !!!

Do you get in fights frequently with total strangers?

Why are you but hurt you got a sarcastic comment returned from your sarcastic comment?

Thanks, Timken

I was wondering if you could pump wheel bearing grease into the hub thru the sensor cable port ??? Looking into the port, I can see the wheel for the sensor pickup...think it's just in back of the back bearing . If it would work, I would be on it in a jiffy.

Not at all. Was actually curious of how you would lubricate a sealed bearing,....
that's all... didn't know it was possible. I work on cars for a living and i've never
heard of this procedure.. Didn't know it was sarcasm to begin with...
A keyboard doesn't always convey the actual tone of a conversation, so I missed
that it was just a joke to to begin with
And I was never being sarcastic at all.. but that was missed to I guess

sealed bearings can be lubed in 2 ways. by either removing the seal on one said with a pick, you can usually just pop them out and back in. the other way is a thin grease needle. get in under the inner lip without damaging it, and you can get some in.


it's never recommended to touch a new sealed bearly, but something like a old idler pulley bearing that's going to be replaced if it doesn't help anyways, I've get some grease in them and the quietly right up.

I wouldn't do this to the bearings in your hubs thou haha. something that if it'd fails won't hurt anything

How a troll on another forum derailed a thread to go off topic.
It’s a completely wasted skill set but at least this is funnier than he”ll
