Wheel Bearing Questions

[Ungas]

A tub of axle grease will cost you about 300 plus labor charge of 300 = P600.00

Madali lang po mag-repack ng front bearings. All you need are 2 sturdy jacks, 17mm socket or closed wrench, G.I. pipe 2-3 feet to prevent the hubs from spinning.


OT:
Langya kayoooo.... ginawa nyo pa kong taong grasa... bwahahaha!

Thanks for the info.

Sabi sa casa front bearings lang nire-repack iyong sa likod pag nasira ay palit na din sabay ng differential. Pero sa labas sabi pati daw wheel bearings sa likod ng Strada ay nire-repack. Which is true?

Thanks.

Pwede rin pong i-repack ang likod, kung marunong ang gagawa. Para mas makamura repack muna, kung andun pa rin yung tunog ng ma-ugong na bearing that's the only time you change all corners para sigurado.

Ungas,
Is there a special grease for wheel bearings? I've seen lithium grease with moly- is this better than standard lithium grease for bearings?

I'm sorry, I take this back. HIndi pala magandang pakinggan. "The Grease Man" would be a cool term.

Change bearing na alng ako. Nagpapa grease ako if I know bago lang yun bearing then nag lahar trails kami. Much2 cheaper outside the casa.

jackaroo::: Yes sir, there are a lot of grease types available on our market. Some are for high speed others are for high temp. Though I have not yet encountered grease with moly, I'm pretty sure it would be greater than without one.

Some opt for mineral based axle grease (black), while lithium based are colored red to maroon shade, which definitely lasts longer. Just don't use the food grade grease. :D


afrasay::: No offense taken.

Magkano magpapalit ng bearings kay Cheiffy? Tinatamad na ako gumawa eh. kung affordable naman (affordable para sa bulsa ko) papagawa ko nalang.

[Ungas]

Di ko na maalala, pero paniguradong abot kaya mo yan.

Ikaw na maging Don Rod! :D

ako i repack once a year kapag tapos na ang rainy season...

pero kapag nag off road ako especially lahar repack agad the next morning, lahar can damage your underneath sa badly...

guys wala pa bang kalawang pang ilalim ninyo?
kasi sa akin meron na, and to think lagi akong nag papa underwash after a lahar run...

kimpoy,
sa Revo 2000 model ng erpats ko eh wala pag-kalawang... every year lang underwash before i-undercoat ulit sa ziebart
kahit i-daan namin sa lahar noon or sa rough road na sobrang putik eh di namin pinapa-underwash..hinahayaan lang namin... siguro dahil 2000 model pa ito..

normally kasi eh pag pina-underwash eh natatanggal nga mga dumi and at the same time eh natatanggaldin yung 'undercoat' na nilagay pag sobrang lakas ng tubig during underwash.. ito sabi sa akin sa ziebart .. actually kahit sa bahay lang at i-hose mo yung underside ng tire eh kaya mo tanggalin rustproofing.. lakas kasi ng water sa amin sa novaliches.. kaya simula nun eh di ko na hose ilalam ng revo para di matanggal rust proofing..

I would suggest na ipa-rustproof or undercoat mo yung car mo para iwas kalawang... kay "chiefy" ka pa-undercoat at meron sya mga post dito sa forum ...
