Greases.

by Glyn Ruck » Sun May 15, 2022 7:53 pm

I posted this on another forum & feel it is pertinent here.

if you find a sloppy mess in a wheel bearing or wherever it could be due to incompatible greases having been placed/mixed in that hub or component.

Never mix grease types when topping up a hub or other location. Rather clean the bearing & hub & regrease completely. As an example a Calcium Complex grease is completely incompatible with straight lithium greases & will create a runny slop in the hub or other application. Straight Lithium Stearate & 12-Hydroxystearate greases are the most common general purpose greases in an NLGI No 2 penetration on the planet.
