X2.....do if it makes you feel better, but I don't see how it will help.......I had 260,000 miles on my original hubs before i install the Dynatrac fee spin kit.

I am with OOPS here.. I dont understand what good it would do to put grease on the unit hub shaft nut and speed sensor tone ring. The bearings are sealed

Some people have very poor comprehension skills or do they not read?

There are two seals not four, and a total of two bearings. How does putting grease between two seals not grease a bearing? And nobody said anything about putting grease on the axle retaining nut.

If it helps or not is debatable. However it does in fact add grease to the bearings inside the unit hub. Am I going to take the time to do it? No.

As long as your hubs have the abs sensor inside they can be greased. Just remove the grease sensor and put a hand pump grease gun with a rubber tip in the hole and pump. Watch the seals so you dont blow them out. Use either Delo sgli#2 or Kendall super blue 427 grease. That is what is in most hubs I have had apart. If you google Courtsara and go to the tip section you will see pictures and explanations on how to do it. The subject in the pics is a chevy 1500 but it doesnt make any difference. I have done ford, dodge, and chevy the same way. Cheers.
