What grease is best for repacking
I have a AL-KO Ultrulube. It says that I need to use NLGI Grade 2 lithium complex, grease with a minimum dropping point of 400F for the repack. http://dutchmen.com/image/data/documents/parts/alkobr...

I think you will find that all NLGI Grade 2 lithium complex grease (designed for wheel bearings) has a high temp drop point. the actual working temp of the bearing is probably significantly lower but high temp is specified due to latent heat added under heavy braking or load conditions. Just curious, I have the same axle make and was wondering how the bearings looked and how much grease was present in the hub if you used the grease fittings to add grease.
Actually, all I need to do is pop off a rubber seal and pump new grease till the old grease is all out.
This site is not Ultrulube but it works the same way.

I also found this post interesting; note the pdf files at the bottom.

komodo,
My new FR trailer has Dexter EZ Lube axles which you pump with grease too. Though it's new, I'm going to double check everything. Good info on the FR forum too.
