Default question about grease for wheel bearings...

what brands would all of you reccomend and why? I found some mobil synthetic grease that ill probably end up going with but i wanted to get your guys opinions cause you guys always know about something ive never heard of, like when i ask questions about lubricants i always expect one guy to chime in with a type of lubricant thats squeezed from a rare plant deep in the himilayan valley and is aged for centuries or something crazy like that lol

i know the front wheel bearings are sealed,as far as the rear are concerned,i`m not sure if they are sealed or serviceable.but any name brand synthetic grease should be fine.(as long as its wheel bearing grease)

I dont think you will be able to get any sort of grease in there. With all the effort, just buy new bearings.
