Where to grease front hub bearings?
I have the fitting to grease the front hub bearing through the abs hole , but I seen a thread on another forum that a guy was using the vac line hole for ESOF because he had Warn Hubs to grease hias forny hub bearing. I plan on getting Warn hubs in a couple of months so I was wondering what you guys think would be the best place to grease the hubs? I just greased them about 2 months ago using Guzzles method and I just got the ABS grease fitting about 2 weeks ago so I have not used it yet. I was also wondering if the grease shot in the ABS hole would have any ill effects on the function of the ABS if I were to use that method? Thanks for any help guys.

Ditto - I agree with Phil.
Once a year should be very good. Before you add the grease with the wheel off, rotate the bearing to get a 'feel' of the resistance in the rotation (or lack of it). Then pump a couple of shots, rotate the bearing back/forth several times and repeat until you notice an increase in the resistance. I checked the resistance in a new bearing for the reference point for adding grease now.
If you add too much you could cause it to run hot and also force grease out on the inside area possibly contaminating the rotor and break pads.
Good luck,
