There are a few You Tube videos where they remove the seal from new Porsche FAG replacement wheel bearings and find one side not greased. So, instead of buying $39 FAG bearings from Pelican, I purchased $54 Timken bearings for my Boxster from Rock Auto. Guess what? Packaged inside the Timken boxes are FAG bearings. Rock Auto says it is normal practice for a supplier to repackage another supplier's parts, and they are not concerned that they charge 40% more and misrepresent the part. The solution seems to be to take them apart and re-grease them before installation. I didn't want to watch football tomorrow anyway...
