front bearing races

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:]From what I heard on Youtube the extra grease you put in there will work its way to the center somehow and lube the inner bearing. I don't see how this works but if "the man" said it I'll believe it.[/QUOTE]

Either John left something out OR he is just plain WRONG, folks :wall:!!!!

BOTH bearings MUST, I repeat MUST be either 'hand' or 'grease packer' FILLED with grease. FAILURE to do so WILL result in PRE-mature failure!!!

I will also mention after reading entire thread, NOBODY seems to have done the job CORRECTLY!!!

Also, torque should be #40 to #70 !! BUT it IS dependent upon the oil only assembled clearences!!! Runout IS .002 to .004 inches and is easily attained when assembly is done PROPERLY!!

I take it lack of Bentley Shop Service Manuals and Moss catalogs is prevalent here ?!?!?
