I heard a rumour about this a few months ago and tried it out this weekend. You can remove the dust seal for the front wheel bearing to clean and repack them with grease. Owing to the awkward removal procedure for worn front bearings this should fill the average Paso owner with joy!



Using a small flat blade screwdriver, ease this in from the centre of the seal and flip out the dust seal. When finished use a rubber mallet to flatten the seal because it will probably distort its shape and push back in by hand. (Apologies for the non-standard brake disc)

It's a solution but just packing grease in might not be good. Usually with a bearing repack you clean all of the old grease and then repack with new forcing any old crap out the back side so your left with only new grease. If you over pack maybe the excess grease can come out?

Yes I know that. There are plenty of cleaning methods - petrol, automotive degreasant -to try and blasting out with compressed air should finish the cleaning to a good standard.
