These trucks have unit bearings, you can't repack them. You have to by a whole hub assembly

Timkin was added to the list of companies that were bought out in the last couple years by a bigger bearing company........ They are now made by another manufacturer overseas and aren't all that good anymore.... The performance shop that redid my rear diff told me they no longer use them in the racecars because they dont hold up well anymore...
