There are many Disco friends that have had problems with bearings at 40-60k miles.
What milleage is recommended to inspect/relubricate them, or are this Timkens "lubricated by life"?
Thank you

No there not a sealed bearing and i would repack them at least every 12 months if your an avid off-roader with a good quality grease. or after playing in the water for any extended length of time..

Front wheel bearings are Timken #37 if you need to replace them-shouldn't cost more than $25.00 each.

If you see any scorching at all, replace them.

Rod Bearings and wheel bearings are two different animals.

Kyle,

I took a wild guess at that one, I have never been able to pack the con rods that good, mains are a bit tougher...

Paul,

Scorching might be tough put out the fire first.

Ok hit me for being a smart ass...

You're doing fine Gruner-Kyle was supposedly being kinder and gentler, but he slipped!

And Dee, he admitted to being a smart ass!

••••••-I'm obviously a smart ass too, right Kyle?
