Is it ok just to repack them. Do I need to get anything besides the grease. I have 30,000 on the L

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

i repacked mine. all I used was grease. Everything else you can use out of your old rotor. Install wasn't that bad now that I did it a few times. First time might take an hour or so. You'll need a 19mm to get the 2 bolts off holding the caliper in place. Then you'll need a screw driver and a hammer to pop the dust cap off. then there is a little pin and bolt that holds the rotor in place. That comes off with a rench... Slide the old rotor off, and then pull the bearings out of the rotor and transfer to the new greased rotor. You can never have enough grease. Then slide the new rotor back on and put the bolt and pin in to hold it in place. Put the little cap back on. Then put the caliper back in place. Bolt the 2 bolts up and your done. Good luck, Shane

 

Grease is over-rated. Just wash out the old bearings with terpintine and put back into the rotors. You can easily get 100k miles that way.

 

Be careful of the type of grease you use. Those rotors get mighty hot so just 'any' grease won't work. I'd use a high-temp, synthetic grease. Pack them completely but wipe off any excess.

I used High temp Synthetic. I had one problem tore one of the seals. 2.99 at Vato zone

 

interval on our trucks for repacking wheel bearings? Front & rear? My truck is over 3 years old with only 13k. Does time as well as mileage come into play? Thanks!

 

Don't forget to replace the grease seals when you repack the inner bearings. Make sure the grease you buy is rated for disc brakes. Some bearing greases are not recommended for disc brakes.
