Is it Necessary to Grease the Hubs on a G-45 Tipper
Question:
if it is necessary to grease hub on g-45 tipper
asked by: Tharanga
Expert Reply:
If is has wheels and bearings then it's going to need grease (or oil if it is an oil bath hub). I have included a link to a video that shows how to pack bearings with grease by hand. We also have a tool that can be used, # L70025, that you can use with a grease gun, # L30100, to limit the mess.
Also, you have to make sure that the grease used is compatible with the grease still on the bearings and in the hub. If you are not sure then you will need to completely remove the old grease before adding new grease. I have also linked a grease compatibility chart.
