Oh lordy, this might end up on the WTH thread. It's a 'unit bearing greaser' - hmm, that could be mis-con-stroowed too.

Don't forget to also pack some lube into those needle bearings, too.

I noticed that, too, when I put a new Timken in mine a few years ago, which is why I mentioned it.

I'm hoping that some of you, er, creative thinkers, can offer some insight.

I just don't get it that they let him walk without some kind of explanation. At least force him to make up an interesting story.

At least this guy had an explanation:
