#1022274 thatjeepguy (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 61 Lithium soap based grease 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I'm taking my rims in to get new tires mounted tomorrow. It says I have to use Lithium soap based grease for the rear bearings. Besides the Yamalube for $25 a tube, is there a more economical grease that I can use?.   Logged     The reason I talk to myself is because I\'m the only one whose answers I\'ll accept.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022278 Gramps (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 59 Re:Lithium soap based grease 5 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I just bought a large tube from Lowes for $ 6.00. Should last me a life time but then again I'm 63. They have it in a spray can too.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022285 thatjeepguy (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 61 Re:Lithium soap based grease 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Gramps wrote: I just bought a large tube from Lowes for $ 6.00.

Virtually all marine grade bearing grease is lithium based. Don't eat it, don't bathe in it. The petroleum content will help it absorb into your skin.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022338 MidwestMike (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4779 Re:Lithium soap based grease 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Gramps wrote: I just bought a large tube from Lowes for $ 6.00.

On a similar note, I bought a tub of grease when I was 16 years old doing my first brake job. 40 years later I'm still using it.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022427 BubbaKahuna (User) No reasonable excuse for what I am about to do. Platinum Boarder Posts: 4607 Re:Lithium soap based grease 5 Months, 1 Week ago   Lithium soap based grease is pretty common stuff, also sold as "White Grease". Pretty cheap, I use a small tub of the thicker stuff for bearings & the spray stuff for garage door tracks & other non-critical things.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/09/18 11:40 By BubbaKahuna.   This fits in here, right? I mean, I can make this fit in here ... right?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1022440 BikerRon (User) Sour Kraut Platinum Boarder Posts: 4189 Re:Lithium soap based grease 5 Months, 1 Week ago   MidwestMike wrote: Gramps wrote: I just bought a large tube from Lowes for $ 6.00.
