Title: Where to use grease - front wheel bearing kit
Post by: Brayster on 14 February 2010, 06:53

Hi I bought a new front wheel bearing kit which came with new bolts and a tube of grease - is the grease to be used anywhere particularly or just all over. I have already has the bearing put in by a local garage so ready to reassemble today.
Ta in Advance

You shouldn't need grease for front wheel bearing, it is sealed.

perhaps the grease that should have come with my rear wheel bearings was packed into your bearing box by mistake
