Mgb rear axle
Posted: Wed Jan 02, 2019 2:40 pm
Hi
Looking for a bit of advice. Just changing the N/S rear wheel bearing on my 1974 MGB. According to the manual, official B/L, section HA which refers to the later Semi floating type of axle, it states the wheel bearing should be packed with grease before fitting. When I look at the old bearing there is no grease and it looks like the bearing is lubricated by the diff oil. Could someone advise if I should follow the manual and grease the bearing or lubricate with Hypoid oil and rely on the diff oil for lubrication.
Many thanks
Mike
