When I was making preparations for My trip from Seattle to Key West and back (about 10,000 miles) My Mentor told Me to repack My front wheel bearings and while I had the bearings out take them to a Machinist for inspection. I ignored Him at first, but after He repeated this about 3 times I did as instructed. Good thing I did. The machinist did inspect them and rejected them. He installed new bearings and I packed them with grease very well.
You might ask Why I had not looked at My rear wheel bearings. Because I had replaced the Salisbury 7HA Phase I with a Dana axle that MMC was using in their later Morgans. The wheel bearing in the Dana gets its lubrication from the diff oil not a zerk on top of the bearing.
