Question:
Can you tell me what type and brand of grease is used in these hubs? If I purchase these hubs, I am installing bearing buddies and want to be sure and fill with a compatible grease. I know that incompatible greases can liquefy and fail. Thank you

Expert Reply:
Whenever possible I recommend the hub part # CE13511 over the # AKIHUB-545-35-K as it has marine quality grease in it that will do a better job preventing water from damaging the grease. Aside from that it's the same hub that fits the same spindle.
For grease then you would want the part # L11315.
