Front wheel bearing question

Featured Replies

Hi, I’m fitting whole new hub, bearing, shock etc tomorrow to my old VRS, my question is what kind of grease is needed inside the hub before I press the bearing in? Is permatex assembly lube ok or perhaps copper grease? Any advice much appreciated..

Thanks

I used copper grease but someone on here pointed out that a metalic grease may affect ABS sensor. I have had no problems although I used a very thin smear. Next time I will use general purpose lithium as I have a good few tubes. Also pointed out on here use grease on bearing press screw while inserting bearing. If you have permatex I reckon it would be ok as well.

Think I used CV boot grease with molybdenum. Some people use washing up liquid
