Replacing grease wide 5 front drums
I cleaned up real nice set of wide five front drums. I had to scoop out what seemed like a 1/2 of a tube of grease out of each one. I cleaned up the bearings and plan pack them and reinstall them with a new seal.
My question is is the cavity between the bearings supposed to be full of grease? Thanks |

No, just grease the bearings. Filling the center cavity does nothing and is just a waste of grease.

The grease hadn’t seen the light of day for a long time. It was very black and seemed different from modern wheel bearing grease

You know, it IS entirely possible that grease is approaching 85 years old. DD

Are these the Timken Grease Guidelines mentioned above?
