Cool but just break castle nut loose before removing caliper. Easy enough.

So what is the verdict? Are the bearings lasting longer once you use this tool to fill them up with grease?

On rzrforums the verdict is a definite yes. One post said triple life. Mine would last 700 miles so that would mean 2000.

I had to look that up Mike. Makes sense - the bearings are relatively low quality. Is there a way to find an ABEC 7 or similar that fits or are other tolerances so far out it does not matter?

I havent found any 44x72x33.1 bearings with a higher rating. Would'nt want to go past 5 anyways as they get less durable higher up the abec scale. higher rating is for high speed, but cost climbs with the scale. It all comes down to the materials and manufacturer.Oem uses Chinese bearings.
Polaris f***3d up by having excessive spindle/bearing clearance So water gets in the same way that cool bearing greaser gets it in...

Yeah, don't understand why they use a split inner race making it easier for mud/water to get in.

Polaris uses substandered bearings just to match all the rest of parts on the machines.

So I purchased four new All-Balls wheel bearings and one of those Holy Tools bearing greasers. So what system is working best for folks? Do I add grease now when they are brand new, or do I waist a few hundred miles?

Charlie you want to fill them now, most people claim they get 10-12 pumps of grease in them because they come practically dry. Then repeat periodically every x amount of miles.
When I replaced my bearings they were bone dry and full of mud so if you keep them full of grease they should last longer.
ps. Almost everyone recommends using the Polaris brand bearings, tighter tolerance and last longer. Keep a close eye on your All-Balls to see how they are holding up and you put some miles on them.

Yeah, don't understand why they use a split inner race making it easier for mud/water to get in. Every body that has dual ball bearings uses split inner races. All manufactures use the same style bearing. Go to the CanAm forums, they have the same complaints and are using the bearing greasers also.

Fill them new. That reduces mud and water they can get in.

I greased my bearings at 800 miles and they were like new. I just checked them today and they are still like new with 2,100 miles, absolutely zero play or slop. I shot about 4 more squirts in them and it pushed some dark grease out but no water. I am a firm believer.

If you have no side to side movement in your wheels after 2000 miles you may have the Polaris record.

Put new bearings in got machine all back together . Ordered a holy greaser my rears are 40 mm. Got my greaser pulled caliper and outter hub off front. Guess what? Those bearings were 44 mm. Dammit went ahead and greased rears. Then came back to front determined to make this smaller greaser work on 44 mm bearings. After some jury rigging got it!!!!! Don't look to purity but it worked.
