<VV> Help!!!!!

[Harry Yarnell]

This method of greasing late rear wheel bearings I think has fallen out of 
favor.
While a good idea in theory; in practice, you never knew if you were putting 
in too much grease, or not enough. Most folks did the former. In a short 
period of time, the overpacked hub would spew the excess grease past the 
outer seal, all over the brakes with the brake drum acting like a spatula.

I've done this Zerk fitting mod to a number of Corvairs with mixed success.
