Does any one no a good way to pack a jimny bearing. I pushed the grease in with my thumb last time. But I think I didnt put enough in causing the bearing to let go. Is there any special technique, or is it massage the grease in kind of thing.

Has bearing both sides

Cheers

Yep.

Take a big blob of grease and put in the palm of your hand. Then slap the edge if the bearing down onto the egde of the grease blob. This will slowly drive the grease up in between the rollers. Keep doing this untill you see it oozing out from between the rollers at the top of the bearing.

Or, Buy a bearing packer. :wink:

Thanks Pete pretty sure that worked, well the grease was slowly disappearing.
Was about to borrow a mates bearing packer but he said his is only for a tapered bearing.
