      Rear bearing grease?

      I justy changed my rear drums - 2004 aveo hatch, and something bugs me. No grease? There wasn't any any where. A little had leaked out of the bearing, but when you reassemble is there really no grease? I understand the bearings are sealed, but what about a lil' some place else?

      This is dumb I realize this, but I just want to make sure I didn't miss something. Thanks!

      A sealed bearing is permanently greased.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      Thank you captain obvious. ; )

      I get that, I still can't believe you don't lube the shaft or something. Or put another way, this car is unlike anything else I have ever worked on. Or yet another way, it's stupid. lol

      Silly Koreans.

      its mostly because the bearing comes sealed to the race. If you are working on a car with bearings and separate races. you have to fill the cavity with enough grease so even with the cast off, the bearing stays greased.
