Re: [T3] Grease

<x-flowed>Thats fine to grease the front end with. The concern is that wheel bearing 
grease needs to be high temp grease, thats why all of the warnings on 
"normal" grease that it is not to be used for wheel bearings. non wheel 
bearing grease will just melt and run out of the bearing, more than likely 
leaving you with a bearing that welds itself.

Hi all,

The next thing on my to do list is to grease the front axle.

I bought the grease gun and some grease, and I just want to make sure I have
the right grease. The books seem rather unforthcoming about what kind to
use.

The type I have is "Premium Moly Lubricant" no 2. There is an official
looking notice on it saying "NLGI National Lubricating Grease Institute
Automotive Chassis Lubricant LB"

It also says "Not Recommended for Wheel Bearings on Vehicles with Disc
Brakes", but as I am not intending to use it on the wheel bearings, I don't
see what difference this makes.
