Thanks. I did not realize there was a fitting on the outside of the hub due to the amount of grease caked around it. I was able to pump the bearings full of fresh grease today and also found the axle nut was loose on the passenger side. I have it about bottomed out (beneath where the cotter pin can catch the castle nut) but it should ride for a while - I'm not driving this truck very much obviously.


I have had a hell of a time finding the bearings so this will enable me to continue using the truck around the shop & for short parts and lunch runs until I'm able to find some.
