amgems 79 Posted December 18, 2017 I had an old '64 Matchless. It had zerk fittings on the wheels. I used to pump grease in there until it came squirting out of the seals. I always figured if a little is good, more is better. Never had a failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted December 18, 2017 http://www.pivotworks.com/ProductInfo.aspx?item_id=52221 Pivot Works makes spacers that have an o-ring seal around the axle, which makes some sense, as the seal we've been discussing seals to the outside surface of the spacer. But water can still get past the INSIDE where the axel goes through the spacer, which would allow water incursion towards the inside of the bearings. Interesting. And here: http://www.pivotworks.com/ProductInfo.aspx?item_id=5587 is their entire kit with the slightly extra-wide bearings that discards the circlip.

Covered in Dust 165 Posted December 19, 2017 I have the Pivot Works in my 06 525. I changed the stock bearings after about a year and have had the Piviot Works in ever since. CiD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 294 Posted December 26, 2017 The seals and bearings are marked SKF, no I.D. on spacers. Removed the cir-clip and cleaned with sandpaper. Will be keeping close eye on bearings. Replaced the spacers and grease seals - Bearings show no side motion at 5000 and change miles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
