How do you pack a wheel bearing for 1987 Toyota MR2?

1. Clean the wheel bearing assembly. Use a solvent to remove any dirt, grease, or other contaminants from the bearing assembly. Be sure to dry the assembly thoroughly before proceeding.

2. Apply a thin coat of grease to the bearing races. Use a high-quality grease that is specifically designed for wheel bearings. Be sure to apply the grease evenly to the entire surface of the races.

3. Install the bearing balls. Place the bearing balls into the bearing races. Be sure to space the balls evenly around the race.

4. Apply a thin coat of grease to the bearing cage. This will help to keep the bearing balls in place and prevent them from rubbing against each other.

5. Install the bearing cage. Place the bearing cage over the bearing balls. Be sure to seat the cage properly in the bearing assembly.

6. Apply a thin coat of grease to the bearing seal. This will help to keep the bearing assembly sealed and prevent water and contaminants from entering.

7. Install the bearing seal. Press the bearing seal into the bearing assembly. Be sure to seat the seal properly in the assembly.

8. Reinstall the wheel bearing assembly. Install the wheel bearing assembly into the vehicle. Be sure to torque the axle nut to the proper specification.
