GAA grease

[Sundawg3]

I have new wheel bearings and seals inbound. I was able to cross the old GAA mil spec, to a current version, I can purchase for $265.00 a pound. Not afraid to spend the money but figured a 60 plus year old spec is probably outdated by todays standards. What should I use or everyone else is using on wheel bearings, U-Joints, etc.... I was thinking marine grease since it helps keep moisture out but is that good for the high temps of wheel bearings?? Ready for the experts to weigh in...

Save $225, buy a bearing grease packer, grease needle and a tube of hi-temp grease.

265 a pound?!!!! I have got to know where and what that is!!

This is what I use for packing wheel bearings when I have several to do. If I only have one I do it by hand.

And as far as grease, Any brand name grease rated NLGI-2 will work just fine. Here is a link to a case of Valvoline that will work just fine. I have used this for years. And the entire case only costs 50.00.

I use a standard high temp wheel bearing grease for my mutt. Same stuff I have been usin for over 30 years on old Chevy trucks or whatever. Valvoline product.
Pack’m in the plam of your hand. Holds up good for me in Az desert or in the snow of norther Az.

Don't overthink it.
Any brand name #2 EP multipurpose grease will be more than sufficient for any grease points, including steering, suspension, and u-joints, on a M151.
