Re: My 53 GMC 3/4 ton project

The hubs were cleaned, seals were replaced since the bearing looked fine and longer studs were pressed in. It was not easy (or cheap) to find seals and bearing for 3/4 ton trucks. I bought a set of bearing just in case even though mine didn't look bad. One question that I have, when I took the hubs apart, there was a tub of grease in each hub, literally. I packed the bearing with generous amount of new grease and I added some more grease to the spindle shaft and dust cap but I didn't use as much grease that I took out. Do you have to pack a lot of grease between inner and outer bearings?
