1. A wheel bore greasing apparatus, comprising:
a grease roller assembly, the grease roller assembly including:
a cylindrical support structure having an upper end, a lower end, a lateral surface extending from the upper end to the lower end, and an aperture defined in the lateral surface; anda roller rotatable about a vertical axis of the roller, the roller being sufficiently sized to at least partially fit through the aperture; a motor coupled to the grease roller assembly, the motor being configured to rotate the grease roller assembly about its vertical axis; a grease supply; a grease supply line having a first end coupled to the grease supply and a second end configured to deposit grease from the grease supply onto the roller; wherein:
the grease roller assembly is positioned in a wheel bore of a wheel, such that the roller abuts the wheel bore,grease from the grease supply is applied to the roller, andthe motor rotates the grease roller assembly such that the grease applied to the roller coats the wheel bore during rotation of the grease roller assembly.
