another 104 question
 
Front wheel bearings. I have 1 cub front wheel with bearings marked Luico Worcester, Mass. USA. Are these factory? The other 1 has Heim bearings,RF12-22-14APJ . Anyone have opinions as to which are better? Both are open back for repacking w/ grease. Anyone ever put a zerk in hub rather than disassembly for repacking? Thanks, Chris

Yes people have put zerks in the hubs, some cubs came with them.

If you decide to put a grease fitting in the wheel, also put some sort of spacer between the two bearings to take up as much of the empty space between the bore of the wheel and the spindle as possible so you don't have to put half a tube of grease in there the first time (or make a gigantic mess when you need to remove the bearings for some reason).
