If you uave a can of grease,you can put the bearing down in that and work it around in the grease.Then make sure there is enough grease in the hub,where the bearing came out of.
No. That is a factory sealed bearing.
The hub bearing needs to be properly lubricated. Having access to a grease gun helps. Use the grease gun and place some grease in the bearing. These will help keep it lubricated and functional.
An easy way to do it is to put some wheel bearing grease in the palm of your hand and then, scoop up the grease with the end of the wheel bearing. You will see the excess grease come out from between the bearings. There's an instructional video included below also, that shows how to replace these on a 93-97 Ford Ranger.
Pull the wheel front and rear bearing and clean out the old grease. You dont have to be perfect but do a good job. Then clean all the parts of as much of the old greas from the outside and make note of the order for the parts. Pull the seal and replace this part. Now all is clean and ready to re-grease. to pack the bearing you can do it old school or new school. Us old school will place a wad of grease in the palm of one hand and hold the bearing in the other. Then with a push and slide motion you can scrape the edge of the grease and shove it in one of the cracks of the bearins. This forcing motion will shove new grease in the bearing on one end. and the old grease out the other. When new grease is coming out the other end then turn the bearing and do the next ecction of the bearing. Its a long dirty process but it gets the job done. Do bother bearings and then put the parts back together in the back side of the hub. Prior to doing this put a good amount of grese on the bearing surfaces inside the hub. You don't have to plug it up but you dont want the new grease running out the bearing either. Then reinstall the seal and lube the shaft on the car. Reinstall the hub and then do the same thing on the front bearing. New school is the same except you use a bearing packer from a store. All the auto places and even wal mart will carry it. You place the bearing in a holder and use a grease gun to pack the bearing. It is time efficient and once you start to pump the grease you see the old come out the sides. Once all the old is out and new stuff starts coming out you are done. Nice and neat the first time but it uses a bit more grease that can go to waste. Just be careful. Since grease LOVES to hold dirt and debris you need to be super careful after you use it so it stays clean for next time. I just pulled my 96 Toyota bearings and the race and bearings look new. I change the grease about every 50 000 miles and I now have 325000 on the vehicle. So its worth the time.
if you own this vehicle and do not know how the front wheel assebleys are lubricated then you should not own it... its lubricated by grease.. the front ifs had no sealed connection to the front diff thus it cannot be fed oil front the diff.
buy a bearing packer tool from any local parts or hardware store. it will have a threaded rod with 2 cone shaped cups on it and a grease zurk on the end of the threaded rod. Put the bearing between the cups, screw tight. then use a grease gun to fill the zurk.
You have to remove the entire wheel assembly to get to the hub bearing, take the old hub bearing out along with the race, pount the new race in, grease the new hub bearing, put that in, then reassemble. If you're not sure how to do this, either leave it to a pro, or buy yourself a Chilton or Haynes manual.
Throwout bearings are permanently lubricated and as such do not have a grease fitting. If the bearing grinds when you press the clutch your throwout bearing is trashed. Since it only makes noise when your clutch is rattling around, it's just an annoyance. If it gets to the point where it makes noise when you press the clutch you need a clutch job.
Put on a new pulley bearing.
Why would you put grease on it? Its a bad idea because it doesnt let the piercing breathe at all. So don't put any grease on it.
jack wheel up remove the wheel , remove the dust cover & NUT that holds the hub on, then remove the bearings, and hand pack them, put a gob of water restant grease in your hand pull the large side of the bearing thru the grease till it comes thru the other side, all around, do other bearing, then place inter bearing on shaft, small side out, push a glob of grease into the hub housing place hub on then outer bearing replace washer, &nut, tighten nut till hub will not turn, [lightly] then back off nut 1/8 turn or till cotter pin hole lines up. replace dust cap.
