"I have 1972 TR-6 with 85,000 miles. Although my rear hub bearing
are not giving any trouble, I thought it may be time for periodic
 lubrication. The Bently or Haynes workshop manuals do not 
show these bearings as an item that requires periodic lubrication
 or maintenance and in fact portrays their disassembly and service
 as a complicated and tricky bit of service.  Should I be concerned 
about these bearings or just let them ride?"

Hi Phil and others,

In Len Renkenberger's "Six Tech Manual", he has a section on
extending the life of your rear hubs by placing a grease fitting 
into them. In addition to the original "Six Tech Manual" he also 
has a supplemental handbook on just the rear hub with helpful suggestions on
rebuilding/improving the hub. The manuals are
packed with useful information concerning all aspects of the 
TR6 and well worth the $.

Has anyone done this modification to the hub and shed some
additional light on the subject?
