hi, I watched 2 youtube about this item. with and without repacking the center support bearing with good quality grease. is it necessary? included?

I definitely think you should repack the bearing... I was able to repack it in just a few minutes. Just be careful when removing them. You don't want to damage them. I believe you would have to pull the shaft if you have to replace them. Make sure you use high quality grease that can withstand high temps.

I didn't do it and it was fine. I traded in my car finally but it lasted for the entire year I had it on there and is probably still on it. The hardest part was cutting off the old one. The video is dishonest in regards to that. That step alone took over an hour.

If you plan on keeping the vehicle it would be a good idea. It wa the easiest part of the job. Scraping the old rubber that is sealed to the outside of the bearing was the most time consuming part. Took me 30 mins to get it clean. Well worth the time and money considering the dealer will charge you $1,380.00... Poor design by VW/Porshe if you ask me.

It's not included and according to the guys in my shop not necessary! It works like a charm!

I did not when I replaced. Don't think it's even possible. I have had this on my Cayenne for almost year. Works great. Key is to make sure to replace the front piece (heavy rubber) that is in front of drive shaft. Comes as part of kit

They do have grease fittings. But my LA105 spindles had gotten loose so I removed and disassembled them. I was a bit suprised to find the ball bearings were shielded on both sides- preventing grease from entering...So yes Grease fittings. Does it reach the bearings?? NO

Should not have to add grease to the sealed portion of the housing for many thousands of miles but be sure the exposed needle bearings in the back side of the hub have plenty of grease packed between the needles. The only way grease can be added to the sealed portion of the hub is to remove the ABS sensor and pump grease into the opening. This can be done later when it comes time to repack the needle bearings. My original hubs had 172,000 miles without ever having grease added and were not noisy or loose. I completely disassembled them after removal and there was still a small amount of grease inside. Only 1 showed any sign of wear or heat build up.

Forgot to mention buy a extra oil cap.. Plastic has locking tabs twist and pull to drain oil.On line Green Parts Store has everything.. Also spend the money and get a set of front wheel bearings.. the JD has pressed in bronze like bushing they chew up the spindles.. just knock them out and tap in the bearing 2 per wheel inside / outside.

ok there s something people forget to say, 1 sometimes in the rust, before oyou remove the bearing, there's a snap ring to remove, i seen some thar are pretty well hidden in the rust2 for every bearing job no matter what car, you need to clean the hole in wich you will insert the bearing, and clean it well, this will ensure propper installation and prevent from damaging the bearing, even if it is a pressfit, it should get in pretty easy, once the axle back in place, very important to torque to the exact spec, each bearing/car has a different spec

There is no bearing assembly it is a still shank that runs through a plastic will you can drill and put a grease fitting to grease the will.

Bearing assembly is complete, some use new bolts and a new nut. Use your old hardware unless defective.

I used a good, high quality wheel bearing grease. By the way, they're working well! I hope that helps Kevin!

I didn't need a bearing kit with mine. What/which bearing kit are you referring to? You can look at you-tube videos to help you install the new cylinder.

Yes, you will need spacers with the bearings. There are two main sizes of bearings, so make sure you get the right size spacers.

dont remember if it was packed with grease I am sure it had some but you will have to grease it rule of thumb is to fill with grease till it pushes out of the spindle it will come out of the bootom first hope this helps.

I replaced the carrier bearings when replacing the center section because the factory rear end grenaded and left metal in the fluid. Wasn't worth the risk of ruining the new locker!

If you want the wheel to roll easy and last it would be wise to grease the axel before installing the wheel. (it's hard to beleive this question is for real......)

You have to use the carriers included with the kit as the bore/bearings are larger than stock. Fear not, they are very stout. Also, I had a problem with my hubs bottoming out/axle being too long. A few washers took care of that.

Just use the same grease that you use in your car. A good brand of wheel bearing grease.

I do not believe so. Mine is supported by the hard lines connecting it to the shut-off valve and lubricator. I made my own brackets to hold the entire assembly. However, it is a nice-quality piece.

Would luv to help but just don't know. Maybe you can contact the seller; he should have an interchange manual. Main thing I do know is I'll never own another Husky though. Mine had 64 hours when the spindle went out and they laughed at me. Once I tore it down, I learned the upper bearing is a sealed unit. When you grease the spindle, you're only greasing the lower one. The top one burned up and seized. They looked at under warranty because of noise. They said they don't warrant noises, just broken parts. Two weeks later (and warranty ran out one week earlier), it went out and I found two weak idlers that I changed at the same time. Again, wish I could help you.
