Thank you all!
Cleaned all the bearings this morning, looks good.
I have another question. There is some space between inner and outer bearings.
Was I supposed to fill this space with the grease?
When I was taught how to pack bearings, (By Dad, late '50s, when the grease had to hold rollers in place while assembling) grease between the bearings is just wasted grease.
GM Training Center, late '60s, we where taught that space should be MT, so as bearing, and more important brakes, heat the area there will be less pressure on the seal.
Which will have least friction, steel moving past steel with 1/4 inch of air, or that same 1/4 inch full of heavy grease?
