Is it Better to Pack Hub with Grease by Hand or with Grease Gun

Published 01/12/2022

Question:

Hello I have a 2019 Starcraft autumn ridge 26BHS and am wanting to know what grease fitting I need to grease my wheel bearings. I contacted Starcraft but they are saying I need to hand grease the bearings. Suggestions?

I would recommend sticking with Starcraft's advice. Hand packing the hub and bearings gives you the best result as it allows you to inspect everything, put in the correct amount of grease, and won't allow you to over fill the hub and blow out the grease seal. Fore the best grease you'd want the heavy duty and waterproof LMX Red grease part # L11390.

I attached a video that covers packing hubs for you to check out as well.
