Looking for a good grease for my trailer wheels (currently repacking). I used to use Aqua Lube, but it does not seem to be readily available in my area. Anyone have experiance with “Green Grease?” Alternatly, I am looking at Mobil 1. ---

CSA is on target…Today, ANY EP multi-purpose lithium based grease will do the job. But the bearing buddies are a must. You can make poor-mans versions by simply drilling a 1/4 hole in the center of the bearing dust cover and installing a zerk fitting in the hole. Now you can use a grease gun to “pressurize” the hub with grease. Use a little common sense or you will blow the seal right out the back if you overdue the grease gun… ---

You can buy wheel bearing grease for marine applications at any WalMart or auto parts store. That’s where I get mine.
