P1000 Wheel bearing greasing tool

[Sourdough]

In front of me, I have 2 "greasing tools", neither one that will fit over my axle shaft...and not returnable..
I have a 2019, Pioneer 1000-5 and am afraid to order any more for fear of getting the same.. my axle shaft
is approx 29-30 mm. in dia. and the ones I am getting have a bore of 25 mm. Pls , someone tell me where
I can get the proper one....I live in AB, Can. Thx a bunch

I'm unclear on the bearings you want to grease.

I learned the old-fashioned way.

1. Reach your predominant hand into the grease container and scoop a handful of grease. Trasnsfer it to the palm of your other hand.

2. Hold the bearing in your predominant hand and press it firmly into the opposite containing grease and wipe the bearing through the grease forcing grease into the bearing shell around the bearings. Rotate the bearing to expose the next section and repeat until the bearing is fully packed.

After I wrote he above I realized the ancient technique must be on the web. Here it is:

As I mentioned, I am talking AXLE shaft and therefore WHEEL BEARINGS, these can't be greased by conventional means, if you are familiar with the bearing set up, unless you want to dismantle the hub and press out the bearings.... The procedure "tool" is shown on tube tube, which explains and shows it for anyone to understand...

I might have understood your question if you had posted a link to the video you're posting now.

If you know someone with a metal lathe and boring bar, it's fairly easy to increase the diameter of your greaser - though depending on how much of the ID is removed, you may need to replace the O-ring and maybe make the O-ring groove a bit deeper. If you had to pay a machinist to do this, it'd cost more in time/money than it would to find and buy the right greaser . . . though that sort of thing never held me back, as I have a lathe.

@Sourdough just search "bearing greaser" on these forums and you'll find several threads where guys have discussed ones that work and those that don't.

I know it takes a 40mm tool. The one I have is from a company called Machined Integrations. Works great. I've seen guys here with others that work for half the price of mine.

Here's a video showing how utv wheel bearings are greased.

 

[P1K5Dave]

Several have argued here that over greasing bearings can be problematic with bearing clearance and heat issues. Valid concerns.

Read up. I'm in the "moderate greasing occasionally " camp.

This week I learned that a plk can go 20,200 miles with only 3-4 oil changes and absolutely no other maintenance whatsoever. Based on that I say throw the two you have in the trash and forget about it.

Thx guys,... all the info that has been given is pretty much right on and is what I have been able to come up with myself.
Re, the u-tube video, its good and I was hoping that they might be able to supply this tool...They got back to me the next day and unfortunately could not do so..
As for the lathe work, there are issues here that I will find out tomorrow, when I chuck it myself..
I can McGuiver with the best of them...lol.. Would still like the name of someone that I can speak with an d know we are on the same page....
As for the "over greasing", the bearing seals with allow excess grease to escape and could only maybe lube your brake pads but anyone who gets carried away with a grease gun ...well...you know what I mean....The same holds true for not doing any servicing to what one owns....That is not the way this cowboy operates and never will...The idea of greasing those bearings are as a preventative measure, should one be in the water, mud, blood and the beer ( I think that is what John said), and greased just to purge possible contaminates or top off a couple times a year.. not to be done after every run...
I think that covers most of the response, I got to my question and I thank you all but would still appreciate WHT, I can get one if my lathe doesn't pan out.. I'm not concerned about a bearing failure, as when spinning the wheel, all are still smooth.
It's just nice to travel, knowing you have a full tank of fuel and other systems are up to par, when you hit the trails
In the world of aviation, they say..
The fuel you left on the ground and the altitude above you do you no good, when the fan stops turning...Have a good day

Thanks for posting the link but it doesn't work? Also, thanks for the idea on what to type into google, sometimes I have trouble figuring out what to ask and I'm always open to ideas. 👍

try this one lots of good info in this post . P1000 - Bearing Grease

I am finding it hard to believe, that with all the talk about wheel bearing grease tools, I have yet to see ANYONE come up with a part # and a supplier..Lots of items out there with 40 mm., inner bearing dimension but no one has mentioned the fact that the tool has to fit over a 29-30mm shaft... SO, WHO HAS THE TOOL AND WHERE DID IT COME FROM...for the sake of those not needing the frustration of getting the wrong one(s)..lol.... I was able to machine mine and it works fine but not everyone wants to go the route that I did..

I have a 2017 P700. I purchased a set of greasing tools for it on eBay. The front wheels was 34mm and the rear was 40mm. They fit and worked perfectly. Greased all 4 wheels in 45 minutes. Check eBay and read reviews.
