How often--mileage wise--do you grease the bearings?

David, thanks. I appreciate the idea with the brake cleaner. I am going to do that. What and where is the zerk grease fitting I hear folks talking about and what is it's purpose. Again, many thanks.


The zerk fitting is on the tip of the spindle. If you are doing a repack, this can be avoided.

There has been much written about "EZ Lube" type axles - both here on the forum and elsewhere. Below is a link or two that I have written. Personally, I would go ahead and do the clean/inspect/repack this time. That way "you know what you got". The factories don't lube bearings like I do.....enough said. Next year/going forward, you can decide what you want to do.
