I think what I would do with this unit is to have the wheel bearing packed the old fashion way the first time or do it yourself. The reason is that you do not know what the previous owners maintence schedule was, that is unless you know him or have a copy of how and when maintence was preformed. Squirting grease in the end of an axial does not show you what is going on inside. If you do this type of thing, NAPA or other parts stores sell seals and bearings. On my rig, I carry and extra seal, both bearings, inner and outer, and a 1 lb. can of grease in a 3 lb. coffee can in the basement for an unexpected bearing replacement on the road on long hauls. I guess I have always been a maintence freak.....JB
