I was wondering if anybody knows how long I can/should expect my 2009 wheel bearings will last. I have read numerous bearing discussions, but I couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I have a 2009 XB12Scg with 3500 miles. Thanks, Nick |

I have 24K on my original bearings. Every set of tires I pic the outer seals out with a needle and add a little grease. Its easy. |

I dont have any pictures. Just pick around the outside without poking a hole in it. Putting them back in is just like sealing a ziplock bag. You can feel them snap in. I used boat wheel bearing grease because its what I had. |

@Nik You have 45k on a 2009? If not, what year do you have? Thanks, Nick |
