WD40 has solvents in it that will attempt to remove the existing grease, oil, crud and whatnot. But we want the bearings to remain greased through and through. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked it up anyway and thought I would ask before I open it up. The reviews suggest this really good stuff but wondering what you think? I know with cars &trucks I always find "Lucas" brand is one of the best for restoring motors and transmissions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techyiam Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Canadian Tire sells marine grease. The label states that this grease can be used on boat trailer axle wheel bearings. To launch a boat into the water, the wheel bearings are often submerged, and it can be salt water to boot.

It probably would, but it does sound like it could be on the stiffer side of greases. The viscosity of an ideal bearing grease is on the softer side. The Mos2 bearing grease I have is also much stiffer than the stuff the bearings come equipped with, so regreasing the bearings with this caused a slightly shorter range.

Darn it's too late I already put it on lol The wheel is fixed though, also fully charged so I'll see how she runs and if the range is crap I'll change it again haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightWave Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 Wheel is fixed! Thanks so much for your help everyone! I filmed a lot of video about the process along with all the mistakes, struggles and falling on the street and hurting myself because I didn't put the pedal arms on correctly! The only issue is I need to find time to do a lot of video editing lol I'll put a link in the video to this thread as well, maybe it will help another rookie in the future lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
