Maintaining your Polaris ATV or UTV's wheel bearings is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and extending its lifespan. A well-greased bearing reduces friction, prevents premature wear, and minimizes the risk of costly repairs. Polaris wheel bearing greasers provide a convenient and effective solution for lubricating these bearings, ensuring your vehicle operates smoothly and efficiently.
Polaris offers two main types of wheel bearing greasers:
Manual Greasers: These greasers require manual operation using a grease gun. They are typically more affordable and easier to install than automatic greasers.
| Feature | Manual Greaser | Automatic Greaser |
|---|---|---|
| Operation | Manual | Automatic |
| Installation | Easier | More complex |
| Cost | More affordable | More expensive |
| Maintenance | Requires regular manual greasing | Grease dispensed automatically |
Automatic Greasers: Automatic greasers dispense grease automatically at predetermined intervals, eliminating the need for manual greasing. They are more expensive and require more complex installation, but they offer the benefit of convenience and reduced maintenance.
The type of greaser you choose depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you prefer a more hands-on approach and are comfortable manually greasing your bearings, a manual greaser may suffice. If you prioritize convenience and want to minimize maintenance, an automatic greaser is a more suitable option.
1. How often should I grease my Polaris wheel bearings?
Every 50-100 hours of riding, or more frequently if riding in harsh conditions.
2. Can I use any type of grease on my Polaris wheel bearings?
No, use a high-quality grease specifically designed for wheel bearings.
3. How much grease should I apply to my bearings?
Apply grease in small increments, working it into the bearing thoroughly. Avoid over-greasing.
4. How do I know if my wheel bearings are worn?
Signs of worn bearings include stiffness, noise, vibration, and premature wear.
5. Can I replace my wheel bearings myself?
Yes, with the proper tools and knowledge, you can replace your wheel bearings yourself. However, it is recommended to consult a mechanic for complex repairs.
6. How much does it cost to replace wheel bearings?
The cost of replacing wheel bearings varies depending on the type of vehicle and labor rates. Expect to pay around $100-$500.
