Pulled my rear wheel off for the first time to have the dealer mount a new tire this weekend. I figured while i had it off I'd do the rear spline and shaft lubrication mentioned on the FJRTech site. It specifically mentions using the HondaPro stuff is the best for the job so I figured I'd pick some up at the dealer when I dropped the tire off.
Of course they were out of it. I really wanted to do the service and put it back together this weekend. I talked with a tech and asked if I could just use some wheel barring
grease. He said it would be fine so that's what I used. Seems to run smooth.
Question for you guys who may be more in the know... Does using wheel barring grease sound ok? Is the other stuff really that much better?
Should I make a point of pulling the tire off again and re-doing when I can get the HondPro grease?
Thanks for any insight on this.
