Howdy,
I guess this is fairly easily to do but how do I pack my bearings? What type of grease do I use?
Thanks,
Buddy

I use a disc brake wheel bearing grease for mine, StaLube brand I think. Pack the grease into the bearings with your fingers or you can get a bearing packing tool and use a grease gun to force the grease in. Either way seems to work fine. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.jcwhitney.com/wcsstore/jcwhitney/images/imagecache/I656.gif)

like in the other post, palm full of grease then kinda try to scrape a little of it off your palm with the side of the bearing.

I guess what I REALLY meant to ask was, how do I get to the bearings (what do I have to take off)? Thanks,
