thanks

thanks

Thanks!!

Not that I know of

Instablaster

Mobil 1 synthetic wheel bearing grease

@@fupabox Thank you SOOOOOO much!

How many pumps should I do on this, I read somewhere 3-4 pumps and not to overfill or it can damage/ blow the seal

@@dubaiwatchguide359 until it fills to the hole. For some it may be 3 pumps, for others it could be a tube or more...all depends on how low it is

just wiped it clean

window motors are usually gummed up brushes in the motor . electrical contact cleaner may solve it

mobil 1 synthetic multi purpose grease

I'm not sure if the G55 uses a different swivel housing grease than the G500 . I would assume they are the same

As long at it is NLGI2 you are good. They recommend any color but black so you can tell if grease is leaking from your CV joints.

Yes

Not really .. the seal is there to retain most of the grease , and clean the swivel of dirt and moisture. The grease itself is the real barrier to dirt entering , The seal is more of a wiper than a true seal . The grease is kind of sacrificial and needs to be refilled regularly

@@fupabox i have read differing thoughts on this and can't be sure. some people say that the grease inside the swivel housing should be its original color because if the CV boot is ruptured the dirty grease could cause a lot of damage to the cv joint if it enters. therefore ,the swivel housing need to be resealed. since that is a big $$ job i'm just trying to get a better understanding

@@joshc504 After 15 years there is not much chance it can be the original colour . I'm sure it has a bunch of different greases mixed in there . I have read articles on ripped cv boots and leaking axle seals mixing the greases . I don't believe that is happening on mine , but the only way to be sure would be to do a seal replacement just to check it all.

agreed. was planned for this summer past , but never got the time

as I said at 2:19 " you will likely have to clean it out " I did

@@fupabox That's true, you did. My bad.

@@slappsly no prob , The hole was rusted a bit smaller,even after scraping it out with a small screwdriver :)
