Re: front wheel bearing quesition
Might also be a good idea to check that the breather cap a) actually on the axle and b) isn't stuck open as this will allow water to get in quite easily...

Depends how off road you want to go I suppose! I swear the regular breather caps let water in during just road use!!!ScottieJ wrote:You mean if you don't want your axles full of water every time you go out off roading

Re: front wheel bearing quesition
Ok once the new wheel bearings come I will put the new wheel bearing in and fit it and reasemble it and then I will check the other side and clean it and I will check fluid and exstend the breather pipes
