CAUTION: Wheel bearing lubricant is a lithium-base grease. Sodium-base grease is not compatible with lithium-base grease and should not be
intermixed. Therefore, do not lubricate front wheel bearings without first identifying the type of original wheel bearing lubricant. Usage of incompatible
bearing lubricants may result in premature lubricant breakdown.
Installing Bearing Cups (Typical)
1. If inner or outer bearing cups were removed, install replacement inner and outer bearing cups in the hub with the appropriate bearing cup replacer
tool. Be sure to seat the cups properly in the hub. The cups will be properly seated when they are fully bottomed. Replace grease retainers. Polish
grease retainer journal on spindle with 400 grit sandpaper. Clean with clean cloth.
2. Pack the inside of the hub with lithium-base grease or equivalent. Fill the hub until the grease is flush with the inside diameters of both bearing
cups. Pack the bearing cones and rollers with wheel bearing grease. Use a bearing packer for this operation. If a packer is not available, work as
much lubricant as possible between the rollers and cages. Lubricate the cone surfaces with grease.
