    Abstract: Implementations of a wheel bearing greater are provided. In some implementations, the wheel bearing greater may be connected to a pressurized grease source and used to pack grease into a bearing. In some implementations, the wheel bearing greater comprises a cylindrical portion configured to be inserted within an inner race of a bearing. In some implementations, the cylindrical portion comprises a solid cylinder having a channel extending around the outer surface of the cylindrical portion; a grease inlet port extending from an outer surface of a shoulder portion and through a portion of the cylindrical portion, and at least a first grease ejection port extending from the grease inlet port to the channel. The greater further comprises a shoulder portion secured to a first end of the cylindrical portion wherein the shoulder portion is larger in diameter than the cylindrical portion thereby creating a ledge around the cylindrical portion on the first end.
