[QUOTE="Lil Jon, post: 106047, member: 1966"] If you are getting water in your bearings, something is wrong and needs attention. Water in your hubs is bad no matter what kind of grease you have in it. I would sugguest replacing the seals and installing bearing buddies. When tightening your bearings rotate the hub counterclock wise while snuggung up the bearing nut. Just snug it not tight. The hub should rotate freely with no noises or drag. This is how we tighten bearings on US Navy aircraft, and it works on boat trailers too. Best of luck to ya, and rember water, especially salt water in your bearings is bad. [/QUOTE]
