When you see the greese coming through the front bearing you know that it's filled.

I never thought of making my own, Great idea, but using the drill press with the spindles still welded onto the axle might be tricky. I found some spindles called EZLube and they have that arrangement. Wish I could do that with the good axle so the two match. I may be too anal, which is not always a bad thing when welding on an axle. What is the best way to line up the spindles, v-block or string it out using the hub face and axle as a reference? Stick with 7018 rod is what I was planning on using, waiting on parts. Any suggestions?
