Thread: LET RESTORE BEGIN

That's good that your thinking about repacking the wheel bearings. Hate to get the boat all ready and have a wheel come off on the virgin run. Hope to see it on the water this summer.

When I bought it, the guy couldn't remember when he last did the bearings, so I made sure to shoot some fresh grease in there to get it home. The wheels do have bearing buddies on them, and I didn't see no excess shoot out like a seal was blown. But the rims had what appeared to be grease on the out side like it had dripped down. I went about a mile and stopped and checked them for heat and they were cold, so I went the other 15 miles or so to the house. Have meant to have already done them, but between knees, and back, weather, and honey do's I just haven't gotten them done. but it will be done very soon...Glad you all are enjoying the build. I'll try to get more pictures as the build progresses...Eric, AKA jamesdean.
