I just bought an all balls axle bearng kit. Could someone give me a heads up on how to install and what to look for? Thank you.

Pop the seals off the new bearing and visually check to see if the bearings have grease, if not pack them with waterproof grease. I know the Moose kit I bought one bearing had zero grease in side the bearing.

drill the carrier while the bearings are out, install a zerk fitting. Pop out the seals on the inside bearing, and inside seals of outside bearings. Put it all together, and grease the sh** out of it before installing.

Good tip. Where are you installing the zerk? Inboard of the inner most bearing? On the center section or more towards the bearings themselves?

Thanks for the tip.
