I have a 2014 R-Pod 179 with a Dexter axle. This morning I repacked my wheel bearings and put in new seals. A couple questions I thought of: 1) I used a wheel bearing packer and I had grease coming out everywhere. I frosted the bearing good. I put a thin coat of great on the races. After I put the hub back together, do i need to put more grease in through the axle great fitting? 2) My RV dealership sold me Marine axle grease. They use it on all of their trailers. It was an opaque blue grease. The temp ratings, etc. all seemed to be ok. Is this ok grease to use? Thanks! |

1. I would put a couple pumps in through the fitting. 2. Probably better than OK. ------------- 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4WD AC 2018 RP 179 |
