Nopes. Khol kr hi hoga!
Usually there is lots of grease from hubs. Usko kisi dabbay m nikalwa k save kerwa lena mechanic se, and band kertay waqt re-use it.

this has to be the most ridiculous advice ever given in the history of automotive maintenance.

btw - this is only good for wheel bearings, and not the actual drive joints. You need a moly grease for them. Same with driveshafts, this grease is ok for the U joints but not the slip yokes, you need moly grease for that.

If you see that only the cover is leaking then reseal it with some HD RTV sealant that can resist gear oils, like Toyota FIPG or threebond 1207B. Make it very clean first, then wipe with acetone - install and tighten down properly.

In future, when you need good quality grease, just let me know. SKF distributor is my client and i could get you some good deal.

Skf had their own outlets in khi when i lived there, they did not have cv purpose grease and neither gc-lb rated grease.

Can u ask if they have any gc-lb rated nlgi2 grease? With and without moly (atleast 3%), because using the wrong grease in a land cruiser gives u high blood pressure and sometimes leads to domestic trouble too.

Dont let it sit on your skin for too long either (liver issues) .. and keep flames/sparks away (death by fire)

EP grease is same thing. It contains these solid lubricants like Molybdenum & Graphite etc.
PSO Moly Grease EP and Caltex Multifak EP Grease should do the job perfectly.

My bad. Grease you are looking for is LGEM 2. Please check its description.

Its ok for the drivejoints but not the wheel bearings.

Ep grease with a higher drop point is required and a grease that carries the gc-lb mark.

That mark denotes that its good for chassis and bearing duty both. Ideally the best roller bearing grease has a base oil with 15 cst viscosity at 100c and a drop point of 240c, such greases are usually lithium complex or polyurea thickened. Dont use pu grease where greases can mix.

While the same is required for birfs, u need a stiff dose of moly in there too and the grease should be nlgi1 or nlgi1.5 (axle wali grease)

Bro I am not discussing the copper vs. Silver thing. What I stated was that new radiator is much better than an old one as old radiators are like half used batteries or brake pads-unreliable....
