Hi all --
I completed my birfield re-pack a few weeks ago down in NJ with the Gotham City Land Cruisers group --
-- we used Amsoil NLGI #2 to re-pack the bearings and the birfs, and I drove 40 miles home --
-- we weren't sure if we filled them with enough grease, so yesterday, about 50 miles later, I got out the manual grease gun and filled both sides from the top fill-hole (next to the ABS sensor) --
-- both sides took betw. 1.5 and 2 cartridges before oozing out the top --
-- does this sound right?? They seemed a little more willing than I though they would to take the grease, though we used only about a tub per side when re-filling the birfs upon re-build.
THANKS!!
eric
