Default Re: Rear bearing grease

Sponsored Links (Register now to hide all advertisements)
For a few years Ford had grease fittings on the axle housings near the drums. So I am going to suggest that chassis lube is fine on the rear wheel bearings. That is what I use. They discontinued those grease fittings probably because there was no way to tell when there was enough grease, and too much would push some into the grease catcher on the backing plate, and then into the drum, ruining the brake shoes.
