I have been using plain old Valvoline wheel brg. grease for the last 25 years without a problem. Is that a no no? I do repack them regularly. Is HD grease something special?
This is an interesting topic and just so happens I will be replacing rear brakes and checking rear wheel bearings, question , does the seal usually pop out so to be reused ? I plan on getting new bearing if the bearings and or races look worn at all and we have a bearing shop here, the bearings I know I can get but does anyone have the seal number I will be asking for if I need it?
Seals are not reusable. They are only a couple bucks, even at the dealer. Or you can bring the old seal to an auto parts store or bearing supply shop and they will match it.
