Greased the Wheels

During the winter riding I would hit the car wash trying to avoid the bearings but that and the riding in the rain, poor design, normal washing had left the rear wheel bearing feeling gritty. So I have had the need to re-grease my wheel bearings.

After doing some investigating I decided to do all four bearings, the front where in good shape the rear had signs of water. I only took photos of the front, sorry they are crap.

I also decided to make a new precision grease gun out of a syringe to make the job a little easier and it worked out well. Here it is loaded up with some water proof grease, the same stuff used in my boat trailer bearings.

Surgical Grease Gun

Popped off the nuts and dust cover.

Laid down a bead of grease and packed in it.

Put the cover back on and cleaned up.
