Along with many other parts I've replaced the front wheel bearings on my 69 with new Timkens. Repacked using the cone shaped device with grease gun. The hubs have been reinstalled for months while I've worked on other areas of the car. I've noticed that some of the grease has liquified and is dripping from the grease caps. The grease gun has been sitting on a shelf in the shop and liquid grease is coming out there as well (fortunately the gun is in a plastic pan).
In the beginning I used a new cartridge of Mobil 1 Synthetic NLGI GC-LB (claims to be suitable for wheel bearings). Was this a bad choice? I've purchased a cartridge of MasterPro Hi-Temp Disc Brake Wheel Bearing Grease NLGI #2. Is this better? I don't look forward to cleaning the new bearings, but I definitely don't want liquified grease slinging everywhere.
Thanks,
Mike
