Has anyone had success repacking 8-3/4" axle bearings with the bearings on the axle? Typically I pack a new bearing prior to pressing it onto the axle but I've got a pair of bearings that are looking a little dry and would prefer to repack them instead of replacing them.


Thanks.

It is/was done every day. Get your self a needle for your grease gun and pack grease between every roller and smear it around the surface before installing.

i use a greese needle on the front inner wheel bearing as well to save the seal

I do it every time the brakes/rotor is off

even greese a few NON-greeseable tie rod/ball joints with the needle thru the rubber boot

well worth the couple $$ for it at the auto store

clean it w solvent/final clean w starting fluid (my fav)/What they said, the needle works great

Great, thanks for all the replies! I'll give it a try.
