Eating Bearings...HELP!

[tooldude]

We're talking about a pivot point that's already loose tolerance when it's new, and only gets looser and looser with age... a fiber from a Q-tip ain't really going to affect it that much.

I wouldn't use it on a wheel bearing assembly or in an engine, but I think it'll be juuuuust fine for greasing things like door hinges and parking brake pivots. If that piece of Q-tip fiber gets in there and manages to harm something, I'd wonder why in tarnation all the brake dust and those fibers... well... don't?

Sorry, I'm learning to use this site, I should have used the quote. I was refering to wheel bearings.

Hey iflypa, how are those bearings doing for you so far? I was searching the forum on how to replace wheel bearings and came across this thread. I figure it's been a few months, you should have some mileage on that car by now.
