Guys,
 
Does anyone know the effectiveness of the rear wheel bearing grease tool offered at Ecklers?  In their description, you pull out the spindle axle flange and bolt the tool in place then apply grease with a grease gun.  I've heard that it doesn't reach both inner and outer bearings.  Any experiences to share?
 
Thanks,
Steve

I've got one ,it's easy to use,but it doesn't get grease to the outer bearing,and if your not careful it will blow out the inner seal Confused

If your bearings need grease, it is time to rebuild the assemblies.  Unless you have noise or looseness, they are probably fine.

There are varying levels of parts replacement by the various rebuilders, so check carefully before spending big money.
