deadline Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Oil? NONE Grease: NLGI 2 GC/LB You don't fill up the hub. Pack the rzeppa/bendix joint balls and knuckle. Slather about 1/6th inch (2-3mm) thick coat of grease on the inside of the knuckle ball. The grease inside the hub is nothing more than to prevent rust on the knuckle ball. The bendix/rzeppa joint, once packed, will lubricate the joint for many, many miles. Whenever you repack the wheel bearings, repack the CV joints. The old school 'knuckle pudding' is pure hokum. There is no splash lubrication or other goofyness going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
