| Wheel Bearing Lubrication |
|
So, it's time for my 90,000 mile service. I have been doing all of my own maintenance for some time now, since our warranty and dealer service programs are not nearly as nice as what you all have across the pond.
One of the items for the 90K is "Lubricate Wheel Centers". Do they mean the wheel bearings? If so, it looks like a complete bitch to pull them off according to GTR, with a bunch of special tools. However, in GTR there is nothing about greasing the bearings, nor what kind of grease to use.
So... my question for all of the all-knowing LR3 wrenchheads out there is: Am I reading this right? Do I need some kind of specialized grease? Or are they talking about some other "wheel center" entirely? Do I need the "special" LR tools?

They mean the outer hub where the rim is a neat fit, otherwise it can be difficult to remove the wheels.

Yes, just smear some copper grease where the wheel contacts the hub.
