Wheelend assembly grease tool

1. An apparatus configured to allow packing at least one bearing of a unitized wheelend assembly with a lubricant, comprising:

an inner grease tool, the inner grease tool comprising;

a plug, the plug having a sidewall shaped to engage the unitized wheelend assembly;

at least a first fluid conduit formed in the plug, the first fluid conduit comprising:

an inlet with a fitting configured to place a lubrication source in fluid communication with the first fluid conduit formed in the plug, and

an outlet formed in the sidewall of the plug configured to be proximal the at least one bearing, wherein the outlet is configured to form a chamber with the at least one bearing such that outlet is configured to be in fluid communication with the at least one bearing through the chamber, such that lubricant for the at least one bearing can flow from the lubrication source through the inlet, the first fluid conduit, the outlet, and the chamber to the at least one bearing until the at least one bearing is packed with lubricant; and

an outer grease tool, the outer grease tool comprising:

a cap that includes a base portion and a cover portion, wherein the base portion is fitted over to a nut assembly of the unitized wheelend assembly and the cover portion is coupled to the base portion wherein a second fluid conduit is formed between the base portion and the cover portion and wherein the cap comprises an inlet and at least one outlet in fluid communication via the second fluid conduit such that lubricant for can flow from the lubrication source through the inlet, the second fluid conduit, and the outlet to at least a second bearing of the unitized wheelend assembly.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the at least one lubricant is grease.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the grease is semi-fluid grease.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the outer grease tool comprises at least a first port wherein the first port is coupled to the retainer of the unitized wheelend assembly and has an inlet and an outlet opposite the inlet configured to place the lubrication source in fluid communication with the second bearing.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 wherein the outer grease tool comprises at least a second port wherein the second port comprises a vent including an exhaust and an intake opposite the exhaust.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the outer grease tool is coupled to the inner grease tool via a cylindrical body wherein the inner grease tool comprises an inner bearing support and the outer grease tool comprises an outer bearing support.

7. An apparatus configured to allow simultaneously packing an inner bearing and an outer bearing of a unitized wheelend assembly with a lubricant, comprising:

a body shaped to fit in a spindle bore of a unitized wheelend assembly where the body has a proximal side configured to be proximal the inner bearing of the unitized wheelend assembly and a distal side opposite the proximal side and configured to be proximal the outer bearing of the unitized wheelend assembly;

an inner rotor rotationally coupled to the body on the proximal side;

an outer rotor rotationally coupled to the body on the distal side;

an extendable and retractable inner disc coupled to the body on the proximal side and operationally coupled to the inner rotor wherein rotation of the inner rotor causes the inner disc to move between an extended position and a retracted position;

an extendable and retractable outer disc coupled to the body on the distal side and operationally coupled to the outer rotor wherein rotation of the outer rotor causes the outer disc to move between an extended position and a retracted position;

a plurality of fluid conduits extending through the body and configured to deliver lubricant to a chamber adjacent to the inner bearing and the outer bearing when the inner rotor and the outer rotor are in the extended position.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 comprising a lever operationally coupled to the inner rotor and the outer rotor to cause the inner rotor and outer rotor to rotate.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 comprising an adapter rotationally coupled to the body, operationally coupled to the inner rotor and the outer rotor, and coupled to the lever where movement of the lever causes the adapter to rotate, which rotation causes the inner rotor and the outer rotor to rotate.
