Subject:Re: CV Grease

You want a molybdenum based grease or a so called "high pressure grease"
The moly grease is one. The molybdenum resists being squeezed out from
between contact surfaces in the bearing assemblies and thereby prevents
galling of the parts. Your FLAPS will most likely have one that is
appropriate. Be sure all the old grease is completely removed before
applying the new grease!

Good luck,
