68 Targa - Rear wheel bearings

[margabuck]

Hello,
I'm in the process of installing the suspension on this build. These are the rear wheel inner & outer bearings. The front bearings are the tapered kind that I'm familiar with. I'll pack those with bearing grease like a normal car.

For the rear ones, how are they prepped? Are they packed with grease or something else entirely?

Thanks, in advance, for your help.

I do them just like front bearings. I use a grease packer for the ball bearing, liberally pack the rollers, and then fill the entire cavity with grease.

What grease do you like to use these days, Ed?

Thanks, Ed. That's what I'll do

Just ordinary Valvoline hi-temp wheel bearing grease Peter.
