I found this front wheel grease nipple mod on the Lada Uk site, and decided to do the same mod. on my Lada. I've got spare front wheelbearing housings lying in my garage, so whenever I need to change wheelbearings in future, the spare housings (with greasenipple modification), will be mounted. These pics are from Ahma's (Sweden) modification : Only the shiny tip of the grease nipple can be seen on the last pic. The wheel obviously fits on the opposite side of the grease nipple. On the second last pic the small grease channel can be seen at the centre of the pic. This is a link to the French website - aboute a similar modification: nivaventure.fr/Texte/Equipements/Graiss_moyeux_av/Graiss_moyeux_av.htmDanie

Hi Danie, I used to have a big interest in Mk 2 Jags, and they had grease nipples in the hubs. The service called for greasing every 5000 miles, with the warning do not over grease.
Regards
Ronnie

Thanks Ronnie
The bearings can easily be over greased with a nipple, so I think the cap at the nut end will at least have to be removed during the greasing process - so one should be able to see when the grease starts passing the bearing at the outside .
And one could just give the greasepump two or three "squirts" when greasing..........
Regards
Danie
