centre bearing

Post by highwaychook »

when fitting a new centre bearing should I smear the seals and contact area with grease or leave them bone dry? Also the centre bearing itself is sealed so it shouldn't be greased at all hey fellas???

yes definately smear the sealing faces on the seal with grease..

The bearing is sealed, would not worry bout greasing it.

Y's that?


Just curious, as i would think the rubber on the sealing face would be better suited to grease not anti-sieze... Not sure as some products make the seals go brittle...
