Time to repack wheel bearings.

Hi guys,
I need to repack the bearing on my fiver.

What grease (brand & type) do you recommend?
Where can I get new grease seals?
Do I have to go to the dealer for these parts?

Thanks in advance for you input.

Bill

You should follow the axle manufacturers advice on that. I'm going to guess that you have Dexter axles, in which case look at page 53 in this: http://www.dexteraxle.com/i/u/614960...anual_3-13.pdf

Bill, Just get some good quality high temp bearing grease for the local auto parts store. I can't tell you about the seals (just inner bearing has a grease seal, I think) Maybe a trailer supply or parts store for that seal. Dealer should have it too. Heres a how to if your not familier. Oh, step 1 is if you have some type of greasable hub, otherwise skip to step #2.
