    Front Wheelbearing/hub replacement

    Is it necessary to pack the front hub bearings with grease after replacement? They looked like they were pretty greased up out of the box.

    They are sealed you can't even if you wanted to. You'd be greasing the outside of the bearing.

      I can see the bearings if I take the dustcap off.

        They don't need to be packed with grease. They are sealed, greased cartridges.

          Yup, no tapered roller bearings here!
