How to clean wheel bearings??

So what are you using to clean the old grease out of your wheel bearings when you repack them.

  • If I spend time taking out the bearings I clean them with kerocene or solvent from auto parts store. Cleaning them first allows you to inspect them for any damage. Then make sure grease gets rolled in well.
  • The new grease, just wipe all the old grease you can and push in new grease until you see the new grease coming out the other side.
