Video on greasing rear needle bearing

They have ones that will screw right onto the grease gun also. FYI Milwaukee makes a nice 12v grease gun, I'll never use a manual one again.

Wanted to say thanks to the OP...

-new rear tire
- Oil and filter
- New oil final drive
- Lube drive shaft splines
- Flush brake resiviour
- re move read pads - clean - push pistons back - (fluid out nipple) - not back up ABS
- Spray drive shaft ACF50 - rust prvention.

Great Idea on the - BBQ thing.. I shortened the needle part, drilled the hole in the syringe larger to reduce the effort to push the grease out.
Worked a treat.

Magnets to pull the bushing out.. another great idea..!

Yep dry as a bone..

Modified for the job...

Carefully squirt some grease around the bearing, then push it in to the rollers.. job done.

I am only adding that I use the needle with holes along, like a flute. The tricky part is to squirt only “some” grease so the rollers don’t into a hydraulic break

Sounds like u squared everything away. Feels good when u get it all done and don't have to worry about it anymore.

Made a video on greasing the rear needle bearing. Been trying to get all the maintainance done before spring comes.

Thanks for video. Did my 2020 today. Bearing was very dry so pleased I did it. Cheers.

This is interesting. I never knew this was a thing. I'll be doing this exercise shortly. Thanks for the alert and showing how it's done.
