Even puddle splashing can allow water & other gunk past the seals.Originally Posted by driver3
After last years Gilbert MN meet I decided my bearings should be re-packed before winter...in addition to having about 38,000 on the clock.
Upon dis-assembly, I found the very same reddish gorp that I had been splashing around in the week before (no deep crossings, just puddles) INSIDE my inner hubs.
I was glad I didn't wait until spring.
