Tom. Sorry about that. I guess speed reading a technical question is not my best thing to do. I realize that you have a '37 Fordor, so the 1942-48 Ford shop manual indicates "clean and repack" at 10,000 miles. You referred to greasing the wheel bearing zerks. If these are the ones on the backside of the brake backing plates, there are members on here that suggest not to grease these, as it can cause grease to migrate on to the brake shoes. Have you pulled your rear hubs to service the bearings? Here is a video on packing the rear wheel bearings. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=1937+ford+rear+wheel+bearing&&view=detail&mid=58C74314E3AEC70901EA58C74314E3AEC70901EA&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3D1937%2520ford%2520rear%2520wheel%2520bearing%26qs%3Dn%26form%3DQBVR%26%3D%2525eManage%2520Your%2520Search%2520History%2525E%26sp%3D-1%26pq%3D1937%2520ford%2520rear%2520wheel%2520bearing%26sc%3D1-28%26sk%3D%26cvid%3D1D05103E06C1461AA8C9403C458DA57B%26ghsh%3D0%26ghacc%3D0%26ghpl%3D

Looks like the length of the link cut off some of the info. Ford recommends 10,000 miles for bearing service.
