Topic: Rear wheel bearing lubrication

  I pulled the rear hubs off to do the brakes. One side looked like it has some oil in it the other side was dry. Are they lubricated by the differential or do they need to be packed with grease? And what about the front ones?

  The rear wheel has large roller bearings that must be lubed with drum brake grease. I like Sta-Lube SL-31, available at NAPA.

The front wheels have 2 sets of bearings that must be lubed with the same grease.

You will also need new grease seals for all 4 wheels.
