2. Thoroughly clean the bearings using solvent and
allow them to dry.
3. Coat the inner and outer bearings with grease
completely. Be careful not to contaminate the
grease. This could cause internal damage
and shorten the life span of the bearings.
Contaminants include dust, dirt, sand, water or
other foreign particles.
4. Install the inner and outer bearings with the
tapered end first. The grease should allow the
bearings to stick to the bearing cups inside the
wheel assembly.
5. From the back side of the wheel, place the
grease seal on the hub with the tapered end
facing inwards.
