do NOT use just any wheel bearing grease...it needs to be of the same type formulation to mix with what was used to pack originally. Repack and then use matching gun grease. Also they need to be repacked at least every 3 years or 12000 miles. Gonna get a lot of******for that.
So based on that route of thinking, you would have to take the hubs apart and get every single speck of old grease out before you repacked them.
No way is the average consumer going to be able to know what came in the bearings from the factory....
As long as you are using wheel bearing grease that meets the same standards, it doesn't have to be the exact same as what came in the hubs.
And 3 years or 12,000 miles.... yeah, that is crazy.....
Not with the weight we haul in these toyhaulers.
I am 16,000lbs when I am all loaded doing 75mph in 100F heat sometimes. No way am I going to depend on that grease to last 3 years.
