    Hi guys,

    I知 now finally back in to the Landrover after moving house and waiting for parts from the UK.
    I ended up sourcing a new carrier for the rear diff and have that all back together and have just about finished the rear axle.

    My question is about the rear wheel bearings. I only have one driving member with an oil fill hole, so I packed the bearings and hubs with grease. I then thought about it, and realised oil can still get there as there痴 no seal....so I then took the grease out of the hubs, but left it in the bearings.
    Then I read the manual that states to pack the bearings and hubs with grease unless they are oil filled 🤯.
    Just wanted to know what everyone else does before I pull the hubs off again...?

    Grease the bearings to ensure they are lubricated before the oil gets there. Check the diff oil level after a few kilometres.
