What are y'all using?

I see more and more people recommend them to extend bearing life.

Looks like all kinds of options are out there, from a $20 Lisle on Amazon

I use this but it wastes a lot of grease.

That lisle one you posted looks better. I think those ones in the 2nd link are nothing but a gimmick, the idea you can grease a sealed bearing without removing the seals all while leaving it in the knuckle seems kind of stupid. You basically do 90% of the work that you would do if you were actually replacing the bearings....

I was trying to figure out how the 2nd style works.

I think it pushes grease up in the slot between the inner races, and pushes grease up and through the bearing that way.

I do agree that if you have it to that point, you've almost got the bearing out anyway, so I don't see the point in leaving it in the knuckle.

I'd like to see that Sam. You still use it?

I'll get the Lisle and try it. For $20 if it's a POS I won't be out too much money.
