Appearantly you are not supposed to grease the bearings. They say it causes them to overheat and fail on the Can Am X3's. I was about to buy the tool and grease mine, but was told not to by the guys at shock therapy.
@@MrTrackday101 That would be some weird physics since every other wheel bearing ever requires grease. i mean they aren't sealed and have a grease slit. I grease mine but do whatever you want.
@@brainofjjj I totally agree with you. I normally grease bearings. But, they recommend not doing it as they fail quicker(so they say). Im going to be greasing mine.
I'm not sure what to think here either. You see people very regularly refuting what Shock Therapy has said. It seems to me that there may be some foul play going on with the manufacturers of the x3 wheel bearing grease tools responding to every thread on this subject.

Awesome vid thanks guys🤙🏼
Looks like a new machine never seen out side of shop
Front hub change on xds x3 is different.
That bearing is gonna be a nightmare to remove if you dont heat it to break that green locktite.i will use it only if doesn't fit to tight anymore.
No grease?
