lynnmor 6,777 #5 Posted July 15, 2021 The 520 has grease fittings or you can hand pack. If you use the grease fitting, it is easy to push the grease seal right out. The 520xi appears to have sealed bearings, why not just pop one out to see if you can add grease? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Orsi 2 #7 Posted July 17, 2021 Thanks for your input. I have the original manual and there's no mention of maintenance of wheel bearings. Never occurred to me that they might be sealed. Makes sense. It does mention checking toe in etc so would think if bearings needed attention it would be mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
