So last night I looked at the recommended maintenance schedule and saw at 25 hours the deck spindles should be greased. Seeing as I'm at 21 hrs I figured I'd go ahead and grease em up.

Do I read the instructions? Heck no! I charge in and based on what I had read previously about greasing things I shoot it up until the old grease is expelled. All the grease. Including the grease in the bearings.

So how bad did I screw up? Should I start shopping for new spindles now? Could I just replace the bearing?

If you used the correct grease you're fine. You just wasted a lot of time, effort and grease. Just make sure clean up all that excess grease so it's not flung all over.

Altho, Grease is good. ( my friend gets greased up once in a while). There is/will be no problem UNLESS the seal was forced out of the bearing.. I have seen that happen. Not to often tho.. To my way of thinking 25 hours is a bit exessive, as grease does not wear out. and where will it go ??? Life is good.

Well that's good to hear, thanks guys.

I don't suppose anyone knows what I should torque the spindle bolts to? Or better yet, where I could find it?
