* Lithium soap based grease *

[GreenfieldMad]

Any suggestions for grease alternative for where the gear side of the shaft drive meets the gear side of the rear wheel ? It says to used " lithium soap based grease" . Also curious if i should grease the axle that slides through the hub, and any other maintenance that should be done while i have the wheel off would be appreciated. Thanks

I usually use molybdenum grease because I am typically lubing driveshaft splines and u-joints at the same time. Moly grease is used in places where the pressure (psi) is high. According to what I have read, it stays on the surface better in high pressure applications. However, any grease is probably OK for the rear wheel hub gear teeth.

I do put a thin film of grease on the axles only to keep them from rusting. I keep the grease away from the pinch bolt location.
