OK guys,
I've mentioned it on another post, but I'll post it again.
I bought a sleeve of 10 made in China bearings. Overall, they didn't look that bad of quality. Can't remember the price, but it was like a buck a bearing.
I had no intentions of sticking them in right out of the box.
I popped off one seal on each bearing a flushed put what little of grease was in there. I bet if I rubbed the side of my nose with my finger, I would of have had more grease than there was in this bearing.
Once all flushed out, and the reason I flushed it out as it could of been crisco shortening for all I know. Actually, that's what it looked like.
Then I took my favourite Mobil SHC 220 synthetic grease and filled the bearing chalk a block full of grease. Any mechanics out there that have done front wheel bearings on their old cars remember that you packed your tapered front wheel bearings full.
I'm guessing I have about 20,000 miles on them and the last time I gave them a rotation by hand, they still felt like the day I installed them.
As for the fill to the brim bearing, well a bit of the excess grease has seeped past the bearing seal. As for how much, well the grease is red and it looks like a small red O-Ring around the inner race to bearing seal, not much really.
Still have 8 on the shelf filled with synthetic grease if anybody needs a set.
