Hey mates

Since the temps are over 100 here in the desert I figured this weekend would be the perfect time to replace the u joints on the half shafts (axle shafts). I spent most today getting the U joints out of the axle shafts. Before putting the new ones on I ran into the dreaded "while I'm here" moments and inspected the boots. While they aren't in the worse shape both seem to have small tears in them. Replacing these requires disassembly of the axles, which I went ahead and did. Does anyone have an recommendations on what type of grease to use on the inside of the axle shafts? The FSM doesn't really define it in a meaningful way other than multipurpose. Would plain wheel bearing grease do the trick?

Thanks
Cheers

Might be some recommendations in here.  Seems like wheel bearing grease would be fine.  

 

I am about to do this job and was going to use EP2 grease which is the same that I used on the bearings. High temp, designed for high speed / sheer conditions ...
