    Hub & axle grease?

    Hi all,

    after scrolling many many posts I am still none the wiser, to many different points of view, question is, wheel bearing is hi temp grease, CV is Moly grease, kingpin or hub bearings are what grease?, I think it should be hi temp grease, other says moly grease, others again think a 3rd grease, which one is it? according to the manual if you dont mind because I dont know, I have used boat grease previously in an emergency just to get me home, I need the correct answer & not opinions as I am throwing it back together this afternoon after work to get it ready to sell, I dont want to do the wrong thing by any new owner, please help as I just cant seem to cop a straight answer,

    tried to put it back together this afternoon but found 2 more seals chewed out, also found out that boat grease is crap for bearings in a 4wd, doesnt last long but it was for an emernency just to get me home at the time, try again tomorrow

    put the hub bearing in packed with Hi temp grease, replaced the axle bearings & 4 seals again, got everything back together, put the aftermarket GU bearing retainers in, all moving & spinning sweetly now, throw the tyre on tomorrow, nip everything up 'to be sure to be sure' & take it for a test run, then swap sides for a full repack with new retainers, full detail over the weekend & should be on here up for sale early next week, 1992 TB42 Maverick, 6" lift, 35's, dual battery, sliders, crawlers & lockrite (Toy)
