roamingyak Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi all, I'd like to buy some grease in bulk suitable for propshafts, spare wheel carrier greasing etc on my Defender that has a TD5 front axle and a 300TDI rear axle. Would this Comma High Performance Lithium Bearing grease (NLGI: 2) be the best that I can use?https://www.commaoil.com/passenger-vehicles/products/view/211 Is it also (as the names suggests) the best option for wheel bearings? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickwilliams Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) That will be fine. In this application, quantity is more important than quality, particularly when it comes to propshaft UJs.

landroversforever Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Can’t remember the spec.... but Gwyn Lewis certainly used to ship out grease tubes with his propshafts and it’s great stuff. Might be worth giving them a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmayco68 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Morris moly grease , sells it on eBay in tubes you just slot them in your grease gun and squirt away I use it on mine . Brought it because we used it when I worked maintenance in a foundry and the gaffer and works engineer said it was good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cackshifter Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Yeah it's Morris K48 which is a moly grease, great for propshafts but not good for wheel bearings;but then again if you use the tubes for the grease gun, a pot of ordinary nlgi 2 grease would be easier for wheel bearings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The K48 is also good for putting on nuts and bolts and any steel that’s fitted against Aluminum to prevent corrosion. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianmayco68 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Have you been on the Morris website and see if there’s a stockists nearer you ? I’m sure there’s a part on there to do that , they also do a bearing grease K9 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamingyak Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Gwyn Lewis sorted me out in the end - very good customer service. I should be happily greased up next week There is a local stockist about 50km away, but my Portuguese wasn't good enough, not worth a 100km round trip plus toll fee's to see if they have it, plus many businesses are closed for holidays at the moment etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
