Title: another way to pack a bearing
Post by: alantani on June 18, 2013, 06:02:18 AM
i've been waiting on the bearing packers for a while now.  been trying to figure out a way to pack the right main side plate bearing with grease.  well, tom hrynuik help out and here is the result.  leave the bearing and the pinion gear in place and get a rubber tip for a grease gun and force grease through the pinion gear, through the bearing and then out.  it's the rubber tip for an air blow gun.

I'll have to give this a try tomorrow.
