Default Loading up bearings with grease.....

.... we have drifted from hand packing grease in wheel bearings or using a cone and a grease gun as you often waste more than actually goes into the bearing.

We have been using the large needle device sold in local flaps it attches to the grease fitting of the gun and allows you to insert the needle between the rollers in the bearing cage and direct evry ounce of grease where it is needed..... but that is on larger bearings...... on smaller ones I would use a hypo needle, from the farm store, and use a softer lithium or moly grease, maybe heated, and try to shoot it into the bearing cage.... we are talking drops now!!!!

Don't forget to wash your hands.
