How to RE-GREASE your Front Wheel Bearings - Isuzu MU-X/D-MAX DIY Tutorial

G'day Guys and Gals!

Re-greasing your front wheel bearings is a very important job that is required as part of regular maintenance. The Wheel bearings should be re-greaser approximately every 30-45,000km depending on your vehicle and the driving conditions. Under severe driving conditions and when doing regular water crossings it will be necessary to re-grease the wheel bearings more regularly.

I use a general purpose HTB II bearing grease to ensure my wheel bearings stay well greased no matter what the conditions are that I'm driving in. Using a good quality High temp bearing grease or marine grease will ensure that the wheel bearings stay properly lubricated, cool and in good condition.

The steps involved in re-greasing and re-packing your wheel bearings are-
1. safely secure the vehicle and jack up wheels
2. place jack safety stands under vehicle
3. remove front wheels and put wheels under vehicle as a safety precaution
4. remove the brake calipers
5. remove the free wheeling or auto locking hub
6. remove brake disc and bearing hub
7. remove front wheel bearing
8. remove rear wheel bearing and hub seal
9. clean out old bearing grease
10. re-pack and re-grease wheel bearings with fresh HTB grease
11. reassemble hub and refit rear hub seal
12. refit hub to stub axle and tension to specification
13. reassemble and refit hub and check bearing resistance
14. reassemble and clean brakes
15. refit wheel and recheck for bearing play
16. Lower vehicle and tension wheel nuts to specification
17. All done :)

In this video I give you a thorough DIY tutorial on how to re-grease your front wheel bearings on your Isuzu Mu-x and D-max. This tutorial can also be used as a guide with other vehicles like the Holden Colorado and Colorado 7.

Firstly we start by chocking the rear wheels, raising the vehicle and placing a jack stand under the front of the vehicle. Then we remove the wheel and start disassembling the brakes and front hub. I show you in detail exactly how to do the job, the parts required and the type of grease to use.
