If what I have is what you are thinking of, it uses a grease gun. The lower cone seals against the inside race and the upper cone seals against the carrier. Grease is then pumped through. It works. It's not as efficient with the grease as the hands-on method - and it doesn't lend its self to the toothpaste tube of MB grease. So when I was doing 8 bearing in one day, it was great. But for one now and then it's probably not worth the trouble. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
