hi guys
stripped down the rear wheel bearing & cush drive cleaned up the bearings/seals & everything else

my question is do i use "special" grease for repacking the bearings or will normal wheel bearing grease do ??,,looked on the castrol site plus others most greases sound like they will do but i"d like to use "High" melting point grease iam i right or wrong in thinking this,,any help on this would be great plus a suppier hopefully within 20 ish miles of skipton & i anit to fussed about it been cheap stuff all i want is a top quality product,,,cheers Rick..

Just out of interest - what is that grease you get when replacing the CV joint on cars - has a silver/grey look ( as if it has graphite in there )??

wb bearing grease

just as you say graphite in it yes it is grey or nion black stuff,,guy at andrew pages said its the same stuff just labelled up different "No its not" CV grease is for Cv joints & wheel bearing grease is for wheel bearings,,,ive done alot of working out over last few days & ive managed to get some from a bearing factors its red in colour but most important it will deal with high temps and wont brake down & turn into oily grease its really easy to shring into the bearings & good to work with,,the hub is all built up ready for installation,,

cheers Rick
