OK, folks. So, I am looking at the wheels I got with my Harbor Freight trailer.
The outer bearing is easy. I knocked the cap off, and pulled the bearing with my finger (very clean finger I might add).
Now, the inner bearing is held by the seal, so I need to remove the seal in order to pull the bearing out. However, there is a grease fitting attached to the hub where the inner bearing is. I presume so that the bearing could be lubricated without it being removed. What I don't quite get is if I force the grease througth the grease fitting where does it enter the bearing? Do I need to rotate the bearing while I inject the grease? And finaly, where would the excess grease go and how do I get it out?
I would post pictures, but those who have seen what I am talking about whould know anyway.
