To Grease a Bearing Using the Cone Plug Method

 |

When all bearings have been packed, use one finger to remove the grease from the yellow cone, and use the grease to pack the bearing hub. |
 |

To Grease a Bearing Using the Plate Plug Method
(Used for larger 4x4, aircraft and light truck / commercial vehicle wheel roller bearings)
|
Invert the Packa and on the workbench. |
 |
Select a plate to suit the bearing from the four plates supplied with the Packa.
NOTE: Plate must fit as shown, blanking off the axle base whilst keeping cage unobstructed,
|
 |
Place the plate and bearing into the yellow cone.
Clamp fingers firmly against yellow cone as shown.
|
|
Apply pressure with thumbs to inner race of the bearing. The plate will rise on the grease. Take care to ensure the plate is centered, adjust if necessary. |
|
Whilst holding this clamping force, press the entire Packa downwards until the bearing is adequately greased. |
 |
Lift the bearing out of the cone for fitment. |
 |
When all bearings have been packed, remove the plate, and the grease off into the outer cone. |
