Wingnonut Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Quickie question. How hot do wheel bearings get? Was gonna use the LM grease I have on the shelf for regreasing my front wheel bearings but realised that is only rated to 125degC. Do I really need to use a high temp lithium based grease? See some are rated to almost 500deg but I guess that is over kill. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnonut Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Cheers Phil. I thought LM stood for Lithium Moly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moly I use on the CV joints is grey and a slightly different consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Some "interesting" reading here. https://twoils.co.uk/greases-explained.html This could turn onto a "which grease" thread. Eat your heart out oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
