<VV> Bearing Lube Interval

[Jon Gilbert]

I have had my Corvair for 17 years, and driven it about 15,000 miles.  I had
the brakes done when I first got the car, and I assume that my mechanic
lubed the wheel bearings at that time, way back in 1987.

The GM service manual recommends lubing the wheel bearings whenever brake
service is done.  But I still have good brake linings 17 years later.

The car is up on jackstands with wheels removed right now for some other
work.  Should I go ahead and lube the wheel bearings, or just leave them
alone?  Is there any risk of making things worse by lubing them?  Is it
risky to not lube them?

Thanks.

Jon
