What grease to use on rear wheel bearings? - 01/27/13 01:42 AM
I disassembled to check the backlash on my 8.75 diff (3.91 sure grip) and will be re-installing everything tomorrow. I packed the rear axle bearings about 12 years ago, but was wondering if there is a better bearing grease to use.
(drum brakes).
Thanks

The Kendall "blue" grease is high quality as is the MP "green" grease. both come in tubes to slip in your grease gun. Then $5 needle zerk fitting on the end of the grease gun nozzle works well for bearings that are already installed.
