mixing NLGI2 grease with multi purpose grease

Your hitch doesn't care what grease you put in it while your wheel bearings care very much that the greases are compatible.

It’s just fine. Bottom line is you understand there is a Zerk!!!

Thank you- LOL sometimes you just need to read the manual.

Thanks for posting that vid!!!

To keep things less messy (as shown in vid) I advise cleaning the hitch jaws and kingpin, then apply about one-two pumps from standard grease gun on the kingpin with your finger on the surface the hitch jaws contact.

Personally I would not use the spray Lithium grease as it will get places you don't want it. I prefer a squeeze tube of the White Lithium Grease. I apply it to the top and sides of the rubber mount with my finger.

Solvent is NOT required to clean any of the grease off. A paper towel works just fine!

I used the grease on the rubber mount, per the instructions I got with the hitch, other than that I did exactly as you suggested.

Please show me your directions showing regular grease on the mounts, as White Lithium is what they recommend.

Thanks!

Have to say that's the first time I have seen that spec!!!

"As needed, grease the polyurethane bushings with multi-purpose grease"

I just sent them an email on this subject.
