Chassis—Wheel Bearings

items requiring frequent lubrication




WHEEL BEARINGS: The bearings on all four wheels are removed, cleaned, inspected, repacked and reinstalled.

Lynn pulls the bearings off of all four wheels. He is pleased to see that they are all in excellent condition, well lubricated and show no evidence of wear or corrosion. The grease seals are also in good shape. Lynn concludes that the bearings must have been replaced during the restoration process and is happy that no additional repairs appear to be necessary.
