You are apparently a very immature person with an extremely limited scope of the mechanized world. You didn't read my other post where I stated that I had considered the Allen head screws, but in all my years of wrenching and engineering I have seen and used devices and machines beyond your comprehension, so it was in that spirit I offered my suggestion. So, just answer me these two questions - Did you actually determine there were Allen head screws BEFORE you made the FTE post? Do you get paid to troll or does it just come naturally?

In all fairness to the OP, it was our mistake in misreading the post. The question (if you could call it that since the sentence didn't end with a question mark, and how were we to know?) was how to repack wheel bearings. The problem here was, the question being so remedial and lacking of detail, we assumed he didn't know how to remove the cap to get to the bearings to pack them. We simply tried too hard to help given the lack of information we had. (some of us are over-achievers) But given the history of the OP's remedial questions in the past; where can I buy a shifter ****, where do I find gaskets, does anyone have a picture of my steering box, how were we to know better? I think it's safe to say we've all learned a valuable lesson here, and we won't be making the same mistake twice. But to answer the original question, "how do you repack the wheel bearings", the answer is to put grease between the rollers. I'm sure Bob will be apologizing shortly for mistaking the question. Oh, and btw, the bearings are 'in' the hub, not "on" the hub. FYI.

I saw that but considered anyone that has a truck up in the air would already know how to pack wheel bearings before jacking it up (didn't see jack stands, can I assume they're there?), so I moved on. BUT, if that was the OP's real question then I humbly apologize for jumping the gun.

I knew it, Bob, you're a stand up guy and a saint among saints.
