"Hi! My name id Nate McCullough on behalf of Exert Village. In the following clips we're going to talk about the proper way to repack, grease, and adjust your vehicle's wheel bearings. In this clip we're going to talk about the proper way to remove the vehicle's wheel bearing dust cap. The dust cap is this small medal, stamped medal device right here.

Right there, that is removal of your dust cap."
