Front Wheel Bearings Pre-packed??
 
I just got off the phone with my Ford parts guy. I ordered 2 new front wheel bearings. He told me they come pre-packed with grease. Do I need to add any additional grease anywhere or is the grease in the bearing enough.

Yes they come prepacked...it never hurts to check them though if you have wheel bearing grease around. Make sure you clean the spindle really good and get all the dirt out replace the oil seals, which you probably have already planned on anyway. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/smile.gif Brakes are fun aren't they

Yes some bearings come with grease in them, but I always repack them anyway...

I read on another post to torque the retaining nut (or whatever its called) to properly seat the bearing, then back it off. What is the recommended torque spec. and how much do you back it off. Thank you for your help.
