Which grease for front hubs?

<< < (2/2)

Matt_H:
ok stupid question from me.... if you've got one shot grease, but you have the odd pit so grease is leaking, how do you check you have enough grease?

I looked in mine and could see 'some' .  How do I know if it is enough?

Probably time to replace them. Managed to save 1 from 2 axles, so buying another tomorrow. That's just the racer. Ballast has just had to change 1 of his, and my road car looks as if she needs some. Seems that this is axle refurb month  :lol:

You don't :wink:  so put some more in - simple as that. I've asked a number of knowledgable people and all have said it's no problem putting more grease in.

I personally prefer EP90 as you know when you have a leak and if EP90 is getting out then water is getting in, so time to change a seal! People view EP90 as a pain in the arse because of the leaks, but it's more of a pain to have a set of wheel bearings go on you on the motorway :shock:

Cheers
