1. Why is the hub filled with grease? (score: 1): Author: "GIBSON,PETE (A-England,ex1)" <pete_gibson@agilent.com>; Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 14:30:49 -0000; Hi All, I am about to put in new front wheel bearings on my Spit. and decided that I really should read the Haynes manual just in case. It says that the space between the two sets of bearings, the in; /html/spitfires/2000-03/msg00293.html (8,234 bytes)

If it is 1/2 full of grease and the spindles get hot enough to melt the grease, both inside and outside bearings will have the lower half immersed in the stuff.; /html/spitfires/2000-03/msg00295.html (9,007 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: "Graham Stretch" <technical@iwnet.screaming.net>; Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 21:57:57 -0000; Hi Pete The grease will (should) become fluid once the brakes and bearings have heated the hub up this then acts as a reservoir of lubricant for the bearing. At least that is the theory I was taught!; /html/spitfires/2000-03/msg00330.html (9,195 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: "Bowen, Patrick A RP2" <PABowen@sar.med.navy.mil>; Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2000 17:54:36 -0500; Do not forget that the spindle takes up a whole lot of space inside the hub and while it might not be exactly 1/2 it is getting pretty close. 1/2 spindle axle 1/2 grease would fill it up.

And the heat and oil theory is correct. The thickener in grease is simply there to keep the oil fr; /html/spitfires/2000-03/msg00356.html (10,812 bytes)

I've removed hubs after a year of more of use. If the grease liquefied, why is most of it still in the hub, not down to one side as if it re-solidified, but still on the back of the hub, ju; /html/spitfires/2000-03/msg00367.html (9,694 bytes)

Wouldn't the grease 'somehow' escape if it was liquefied and another thing is that if your hubs are getting that hot...you have a problem, Dave Gebhard -; /html/spitfires/2000-03/msg00369.html (10,142 bytes)

There used to be bearing grease then there was disk brake bearing grease that is now pretty much standard. It has a higher melting p; /html/spitfires/2000-03/msg00382.html (8,544 bytes)

However, that would make the re-solidified portion fairly smooth, yet it's never been that way. It always looked like someone just put it in, and that's the way it sat.
