Rear wheel bearings

[Mark One]

Hi,

I am changing the offside rear wheel bearing. My Haynes manual talks about putting grease in the bearing upon reassembly, but having taken the bearing out, it is clear that the lubrication is from the differential oil. Am I correct, therefore, that when putting the new bearing in, there is no requirement to use grease?

Thanks in advance!!

It won't do any harm. Do check the tolerance on that bearing as there are suppliers that supply C3 bearings which are not fit for purpose.

When you say it won't do any harm, do you mean:

a) It won't do any harm to use grease, or
b) It won't do any harm to not use grease?

Apologies if I am being a bit dim

Cheers for the warning on tolerance by the way .
