Idea on greaseing wheel bearings>>>>

[Qxa47e]

What if you drilled a hole (all the way through to the inside, inbetween the two wheel bearings) from the out side of the rotor (between the disc part and the lug bolt part) and installed a grease fitting.

That way all you would have to do is remove the tire and put the grease gun on the fitting and it would pump the inside of the rotor and both wheel bearings full of grease. That way you wouldnt have to remove the wheels, brakes, hubs, rotor, etc.. to get to the wheel bearings to repack them.

Kind of like what are on trailer wheel bearings, except insted of the fitting being on the bearing cap the fitting is on the rotor.

What do yall think?

sounds like an intesting idea but for normal use, the wheel bearings dont need to be packed all that often to warent the time it would take you to do this conversion as well as any vibration or warpage problems that you might encounter with the rotor. Even if you use your rig as a submarine the wheel bearings need to have all the water flushed from them and then repacked anyway, needing them to be taked apart not just more lube added. Thats just my opion anyway, try it and tell us how it does...
