You would install the Kodiak Red Eye bearing protectors, # KREB1980AC, the same way you would install any drive-in style unit. What many people do is take a block of wood, place it on the outboard side of the protector, and use a mallet to drive it in. The wood will distribute the force of the mallet more evenly so it will drive in straight. If it is not straight it could come out when the wheel is turning.

How about how much grease to pack into the protectors and how to pack it?There is also a tiny hole on the side of it. What is it for and which direction should the hole face down, up, sideways when installing?Thanks in advance.
