PB Blaster Cleanup on Wheel Hub Bearing? Please Help...
« on: April 17, 2017, 12:19:30 PM »
Hey Guys,

Fairly new to the E30 community (recently purchased '91 318is), so apologies for any rookie mistakes.

Quick question:  If I'm using PB Blaster to help loosen the 36mm hub nuts on the front wheels in order to replace the bearing assemblies, what sort of cleanup should I do, if any?  Will the PB Blaster interfere with or degrade the new grease of the new bearings on the axle spindle?  I obviously don't want to contribute to some sort of catastrophic hub failure somewhere in the near future.

For context, I'm replacing both bearing assemblies, all dust caps/collars, lots of bolts, and the brake wear sensor.

Thanks for your help!
