Does anyone know if the VT V8 brakes should have grease caps fitted? As i just fitted a VT upgrade kit on my VH and when i went to order the grease caps from holden the guy there told me that they were never fitted on to the brakes on the VT from the factory and wern't available to order.

Hi Mr Sle.
No, the front wheel bearings on VT onwards are sealed with no cap.
When you fit a VT front brake kit to a VH, the adaptor you are using uses VH bearings with a VH grease cap. The units I have used did, anyway.

Hi Guys.
Small mistake there. All front wheel bearings from VR !! onwards are sealed with no grease cap.

Hi Mr Sle.
No, what I'm saying is that you use both the bearings & the grease cap off the VH hubs.
I was under the assumption that you thought you needed VT grease caps to go with your VT brake conversion. There are no VT grease caps, you use the ex |
