roundhouse:
And if you have one of those vacuum packer things in your kitchen
You can put the bearing and grease in the vacuum bag like your food....

pholliday1:
I'm going with the vacuum packer idea!!!

Dr_Snooz:
Has anyone ever had a bearing failure from insufficient packing? I'm relatively new to GM, but I've changed numerous wheel bearings on the Hondas I've owned, both sealed cartridge and conical. I've only ever done the smear and turn method on conical bearings and have never had a failure. I do pull the bearing to make sure the grease did actually penetrate the retainer, of course. The sealed cartridge units come pre-greased and they are far from packed. In fact, I'd call it more of a light coating than anything.

Just wondering.
