Wheel Bearing: Service and Repair
Front Wheel Grease Seal and Bearing Replacement and Repacking
Bronco and F-150-250-350 4x4
CAUTION: Usage of incompatible bearing lubricant could result in premature lubricant breakdown.
The recommended wheel bearing lubricant is the lithium-base grease High Temperature 4x4 Front Axle and Wheel Bearing Grease E8TZ-19590-A
(ESA-M1C198-A) or equivalent.
Sodium-base grease is not compatible with lithium-base grease and should not be intermixed. Therefore, before lubricating front or rear wheel bearing
(1225) thoroughly clean all old grease from the bearing and front disc brake hub and rotor.
If bearing adjustment does not eliminate looseness or rough and noisy operation, clean, inspect and repack the front disc brake hub and rotor and
bearings with specified wheel grease. If bearing cups or the cone and roller assemblies are worn or damaged, replace.
