Greasing the wheel hub

Step 1: Remove the right hand side (RHS) bolts from the spindle.

Step 2: Remove the spindle from the wheel hub.  The sludge was due to a mixture of water sipping into the hub, blended with grease.  It always a big No No to ride through a water/river a foot deep due this consequences.

Step 3: The ball bearing resides in the cup a blend of what used to be a grease.  Remove the ball bearing by picking it up using a magnetized screwdriver.

Step 4: Wipe it clean those sludge and some traces of sand on both on side of the hub's cones and anywhere you can see it.  Cotton buds would be the best tool you should use.

 Step 5: Wipe it clean those sludge on these ball bearings.  10 balls bearing on each side for this particular Shimano hub.

Step 6: Put the grease on the cups on both side.  The grease helps to hold the ball bearing in place before you can shove the spindle back into the hub.

Step 7: Tighten the bolts to the point the wheel spin smoothly but it do not move left and right of the spindle.

TMI - Too much information!

Reinstall Twitter on phone (for traffic updates), then Twitter was kind enough offered me to find friends on Twitter from my phonebook.  Top of the list was someone I met in seminar.  Known him as married man (he was with his wife back then).  Browsing his tweets(stalking) found that they've divorced.  Gets to his ex-wife tweets (stalking again) somewhat confirmed the situation.

Why would someone share his/her private life in public?  Private life shall remains private.

If you are concern shall your children sharing too much information on the Net, here's a good presentation slide prepared by Securing The Human.
