JCB HP Blue Grease Confusion (not for wheel bearings)


eds

Recommended Posts

According to JCB this blue HP grease is not suitable for wheel bearings.

I have just done all my bearings with this!

Could it be too thick and sticky?

Does anyone have a view?

Should I worry?

Has anyone else used it for wheel bearings and been confident it is ok?

I used some on my racer which uses Land Rover bearings/stubs/hubs. I put standard grease one side, blue the other about a year ago.

I stripped both corners earlier this week and compared. There was little discernible difference between the two, possible the blue grease had held to the bearings better but not a startling difference.

Don't lose any sleep over it.

"Soap Type: Lithium Complex"

​its the same stuff as Rocol Sapphire thats also blue-the only problem I find is that it hardens/sets when extruded or pushed out of bearings, saying that I use it in the main bearings on our massive extraction plant that runs at high speeds with huge loadings and never have any problems with the bearings. Should be fine in LR bearings.
