leaking grease seal.
So the Tt has a hub leaking grease. going to take it to MM trucking in Lincolnton NC to get it fixed. According to them. They will more than likely have to do the brakes on that hub as well. Make sens...

Wow, only three posts to get this off topic! Yes, there is a good chance the brakes have been contaminated eith grease. No matter how you try, youll never get all the grease off the brakes. Definitely have them replaced.
Yep. Lots of folks have a problem with reading comprehension. They read things that are just not there. The post was about question brakes shoes. Not Wheel bearings.
The grease on the brakes comes from the wheel bearings.
On axles with EZ lube hubs, this is a common occurance.
Hence my question. If the OP has EZlube hubs, and uses this feature, then that is most likely the reason he is now probably facing a big bill.
True, grease seals can just fail... But it happens a lot more often when using the EZlube feature.
Good info IMO and very helpful post. If I were the OP I would want to know how my brakes got grease on them.
If I was the OP and wanted to know how grease was leaking out of the hub (no one actually concluded the brakes had grease on them yet) i would ask the mechanic working on it instead of an opinion based on conjecture.
Even if I tried, I could not care less what a poster like you would or wouldn't do. You want to berate others responses and argue and are of no real use here and are one of those "people" who don't make this forum a better place.
As long as people's responses are within the forum guidelines and rules, they can post anything they want - whether you think they're on-subject or not.
Nowhere in my post did I berate anyone. Grow up.
