Okay, Before I take these out and/or destory them. I'd like to get some confirmation...
I've been inspecting and greasing what I can but my front wheel bearings appear to be sealed or maybe have some outside edge protection? I can't spin the bearings with my fingers very well, if at all. If I insert the axle with spacers and tighten by hand enough to get some compression, the bearings spin on the axle. There is no noise or gritty sort of sound. But, it's as if the grease in the bearings is syrup! They spin, but not very well and with resistance. I don't think I could balance a tire properly.
So, are they shot or should I go far enough to take out the seals and get one out to see if I can see inside to clean and repack?
I don't think they're OE bearings in there now.
Thanks!
