It's a different animal than Red & Tacky which some prefer. At room temp it doesn't have that kind of body to it. We use to carry a red grease that was water resistant and that's what I used last time. It has emulsified with the water that's gotten into the hubs and turned varying shades of pink, depending on the amount of water. It had a similar viscosity to Lucas Marine grease, which is what I was trying to find yesterday. I'm going to use this green stuff and give it a review. Because of our business, I have probably rebuilt more hubs than about anyone on here. I'm just second guessing this grease. I'm glad to know others have experience with it. It's definitely a different animal. I normally tighten my hubs until they won't turn, to seat the bearings to their correct depth, then back off until they turn freely. This grease is high pressure enough that I cannot bottom the hub out to stop it from turning. Even with a 3/4" breaker bar on a 1 1/2" socket. Setting the amount of slop in the bearings is going to be a guess at this point.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
