    What grease for wheel bearings?

    Plans are to give the Puma a full service including wheel bearings once back from work. Does anyone know the grease spec &brand for the Puma? And were to get it in Melbourne? I am getting a bit confused here as the spec are different in EU. Thanks m

    Any high temp wheel bearing grease........pretty sure mine is castrol

    I notice quite a few on here are converting to the twin nut set like the older defenders instead of the stacked? nut which I believe the pumas have

    Thanks for that. I know about the conversion, saying that I should be fine with the Puma design if I don't have to swap any bearings. Is your Castrol grease clear or black?

    The colour of the grease is irrelevant, it should be HTB (high temperature bearing) grease.

    Good to see you about 100inch (Mark I think??) How is the welding going?

    I can not help on the grease, but have you thought of converting to oil fed/lubrication?

    cheers

    Hi Serg! Yes stuck in PNG, driving s....ty Toyotas, haha. I know about the oil conversion, but will stick to grease. Same goes with the nut conversion. I was just getting confused as the branding/type was complete different in Switzerland.
