Hi, my name is Nat McCullough on behalf of Expert Village. In the following clips we are going to talk about the proper way to repack grease and adjust your vehicle wheel bearings. In this clip we are going to talk about the tools required to repack your vehicle wheel bearings. As you can see, I have them laid out here on my shop floor. First and foremost, my hydraulic floor jack, favorite tool in the world. It beats the factory scissor jack hands down. I've got my jack handle, pair of side cuts or dikes as they are referred to. This is for removal of a cotter pin, channel locks for adjustment of the wheel bearing retaining nut, I've got my spray solvent cleaner. They don't offer specifically a vehicle wheel bearing cleaner. Pretty much what I look for is the cheapest stuff on the shelf and this is it. A monkey wrench in case required. Quite possibly the channel locks won't be a tough enough wrench to remove the nut I've got, my grease gun, my tire iron and my jack stand.
