    How-To Video DIY Spindle bearing greasing tool w/o touching wheel bearing preload

    I'd do it every time you repack the wheel bearings, 30k, or if you submerge the vehicle for an extended period of time. It's pretty easy to do. That being said I have probably 50k since I did mine and I skipped over it when I repacked my wheel bearings. It's on the to do list.

    How-To Video DIY Spindle bearing greasing tool w/o touching wheel bearing preload

There are small needle bearings that are in between the tube and shaft, and those are what we are greasing using whichever method presented in this thread. The wheel bearing are a...

    Spike do you actually have the tool because as far as I can tell theres no way to thread on the tool without removing the lock nuts that set the preload on the wheel bearing.

    I agree with your description in the previous post. we both used breaker bar and I didn't want anyone to get confused, it's why I said I wasn't referencing your post.

    2001lc - thanks for the input about the snap ring backlash, it's something that was outside the scope of this particular video and is going to be addressed in the wheel bearing replacement video. ITRJ - with regard to torque wrenches - the biggest thing with them is to not set the wrench low...

    I was able to get koyo bearings & seals for sub $100 off ebay for both sides (4 bearings, 2 seals). I pieced together the rest of the missing pieces, forget my exact total but it wasn't too bad.

    Grinding Spindle Brass Bushing? Need Help

    I don't understand why you would not be able to see the grease exit the cv shaft when using the slee tool. Looking behind the rotor into the cv cavity when the cv is pushed out. If that truely the case, it sounds like something could be up in that area.

    It's 54mm but i couldn't get a 54 unless I wanted to wait more than a week. 55 were available and they are also used on the 80 or 200 series I believe so I could help someone out on the trail that had an issue if I happened to be there. there's no issues using a slightly larger socket, the...

    Anyone unhappy with camping drawers in their vehicle? Drawers vs cargo boxes?

    If we end up doing drawers I have a few custom ideas to not loose any space to slides but we will see what we (my wife ;) ) decides on. I've seen Teflon plastic or uhmw plastic strips used with success, I wouldn't be scared to try that approach either.
