    Greases Ain't Greases

    Looking at changing my front wheel bearings very soon, recently had the rear changed after a collapse of drivers side bearing.
    I've read the threads on converting to oil/grease setup, but I,m going to leave mine standard.
    My question is what is the best grease to use for this set up?
    Also read in one of the threads ( By Rangieman ) about a wheel bearing packer. Where do I get one of these.

    I have bought the hub socket.

    Your info and feedback is appreciated in advance.

    you can make the bearing packer out of lots of differnet thngs or buy one for about $20 from most good tool shops or try total tools online store.

    and I would suggest molybond type greases or heavy duty boat trailer grease

    just remember to totally remove all the old grease if going for a boat type high temp grease as the soap thickeners used are totally different (usually calcium sulfonate vs lithium complex) and incompatible.
