Grease tool for repacking dual angular contact bearing with grease, and method of using same
Abstract:
A method for greasing a dual angular contact bearing where the grease tool is fabricated from a single unitary piece of material. The grease tool comprises a cylindrical hub, a flange supported adjacent only one end of the cylindrical hub, and a grease fitting attached to the grease tool to facilitate a supply of grease thereto. During use, a pair of spaced apart O-rings, accommodated by an exterior surface of the cylindrical hub, form a pair of grease seals with an inwardly facing surface of an inner race of the dual angular contact bearing. A supply passage conveys the supplied grease from the grease fitting to a grease outlet(s) located in an exterior cylindrical surface of the grease tool, between the pair of O-rings, for conveyance of the supplied grease radially to the inner race of the dual angular contact bearing and facilitate repacking thereof.
