Bearing Packing 101

FLXX member Benny Davis donated the space necessary to place our tutorial on how to repack the wheel bearings of the Xterra\Frontier\Pathfinder with auto locking hubs. It is located at: http://homepage.mac.com/bennylen/readme.htm
Hopefully you will find this useful! Happy four wheeling!

Thanks Warmonger.

Repacking the bearings is part of our spring prep for the trucks.

BTW if you need space for hosting I have a good amount on Xterra4x4.com

The FLXX Bearing Repacking 101 CD is now released. I have included a photo of the CD and cover. This CD can be run in modern DVD players, IBM and Mac computers. It uses autorun so that it will automatically launch your browser and load up the programming if you have autorun configured. the cost of the CD is $8 plus $2 shipping in the coninental US. If you are interested, you may contact me at [email protected].

does it have the 150 MB quicktime video clip too?

It includes everything. The 150 MB digital video and the website as it is posted with stills.

I completed the repack yesterday afternoon. The directions from the site came in handy.

I cleaned and inspected the bearings/spindle and found no signs of wear.

I would only add to those directions, that when installing the new grease seal you should tap it into place using a wooden dowel or other soft material to avoid damage to the seal.


:D

Unfortunately, the website doesn't show what the video does. If you tap around the seal with a light hammer, it will go in with no damage. This is shown in the video but can't be shown on the website.
