That inspector told me I was greasing bearings wrong for 10 years
I was doing a wheel hub repack last week and an old inspector walked by my hangar at BWI. He watched me pack the bearing by hand and said I was doing it backwards the whole time. Apparently you need to force the grease through the cage from the back side, not just smear it on the rollers. I tried it and the bearing actually took twice as much grease. Has anyone else been shown a trick like that late in their career?
