I'm replacing my rear wheel and when I just put it back on, there was some scraping sounds in the hub so I looked for advice. Got the following:

1) The wheel assembly isn't on properly. Bring it into the shop.
2) Get someBel-ray grease and pack the hub with as much as you can, put the wheel back on and wipe off the excess.

Who's right? And if it's 2, how do I pack the hub with grease?
rsvp - everything else is working great and I am dying to put this 86 spree back on the road.
thanks
mike

Maybe, if they're nice enough at the shop, they'll take a look at it, and tell you if you just need to pack it with grease.
