How much grease for new front rotors / wheel bearings?

[mabrodis]

Greetings, I am going to be replacing the front brake rotors and cleaning then repacking the wheel bearings on a '99 Cruiser. Since I'm starting with new rotors, they need quite a bit of grease in the area inbetween the inner and outer bearings I would guess (this is the first 100-series I've worked on, but that's the way my 80 is). I have two new tubes of grease, 14oz, the ones you'd use in a grease-gun, is 2 tubes enough to do both sides you think?

I'm flying to my sister's to do this, so I'm bringing some stuff and having her acquire the rest so it's all ready for me when I get there. I'm thinking of getting another tube to bring along. I'm using RedLine grease, which I can't easily find around her place (and I'm only there for a weekend), which is why I'm buying it here and taking it with me.

Thanks,
Mark Brodis

Sweet Mother, nobody knows this? Eeek...Ok, then I'll wing it, 3 tubes of grease it is, and with any luck they'll get broken up in the suitcase and I'll have RedLine grease all over my shirts...nice!!

I'll post back when I find out how much grease I need and take some pictures of the rotor replacement process, tools needed, what not to do etc.

Thanks for nuthin!!
