Guest baccaruda Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 is there any reason that one couldn't drill into the spindle (front or rear) with the bearings out and install a grease fitting? As long as the fitting isn' t deep enough to hit the bearing, and the hole's smooth, it seems like a great way to refresh the grease once in a while.... ???

Guest Tolerance02 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I guess it's possible but there is a big chance that grease is going to come out true the seals and inside the brake drums or discs after a while. Urban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OH Noah Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I'm pretty sure that someone here has done this (Hatchpatrol member?) It works out real well, because there's a spacer between the bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest baccaruda Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hi noah.. yeah, i was thinking about aiming for the spacer. Tolerance, I disagree as extra grease is designed to escape thru the split in the spring washer on the end of the axle.. thanks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
