Phillip Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I'm replacing the front wheel bearings on my '99 OBW this weekend. The new bearings (Timkin) have a light film of grease; should this be cleaned and the new bearings repacked? If so, what is the best grease to use?

Richard1296 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease is great stuff and available almost anywhere. Clean the original grease off with a clean rag, do not use solvents. Do not spin the bearing when it is dry of grease. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 that film of grease is only for storage, not for use. Clean them and pack them with wheel bearing grease. nipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Another great choice could be Redline CV-2 grease, but you'd have to find a race shop or order it online to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
