    Mobil 1 synthetic grease nlgi no 2

    YEAP. I use all around on stock 100 series. Some aftermarket ball joints are grease-able. Those I use manufactures recommended grease. They take EP moly in most cases.

    Same in spiders, is fine! The Mobil 1 #2 (red), is a high speed (HS) grease. Our wheel bearings & spiders (aka u-joints) use high speed grease. Whereas the thinner #1 grease does flow better. I use #2 normally, in slide yokes of propeller shafts. I'll use the #1 w/moly to get loosened-up in...

    I only do the pump extend wait, pump extend wait repeatedly until grease passes seal. In very difficult cases these days. Those I use the thinner #1 grease w/moly. When Toyota change recommendation in the 200 series. To only pump in grease until first extension is seen and than stop greasing. I...

    Mobil One. I rarely use the pulse method any more. Except in very difficult cases. Typically, I just pump in grease until first sign of extension.

    #1; I'd just use grease. #2, sure or just drive.

    Short answer: I do not use moly in high speed bearings. Spider are high speed bearings. ____________________________ Many years ago I tried moly in our wheel bearings, a set that had some minor pitting. Moly can actually fill in fishers/pits in a "low speed" "Extreme pressure" (EP) bearing...

    Whereas to really get lubed well, we like to see old come out. But that is risky. Seem Toyota felt to risky, so changed recommendation to first extension. Why they increased lube interval, to every other oil change. IMHO to reduce cost of ownership. Anymore, I mostly pump in grease until first...

    Since it was in "neutral height", the extension (silver) may be from excessive grease being pumped into camber of slide yoke. Some is just how much the slide yoke is moving during normal driving. Just use a 7mm socket to turn zerk CCW. Don't break or cross-thread when installing to 5-7ft-lbf...

    If vehicle raised rather than in neutral stance, propeller shaft slide yoke extends showing silver. If shaft is extended (silver showing) the cavity of slide yoke will have more room to hold grease. Then, when vehicle lowered to a neutral stance, excess pressure will build with in the slide yoke...

    Now you've got me looking @abuck99 07 FSM has yoke both ways: FSM MA-9 to Transfer, FSM PA-9 to diff. 01, 04 & 05 FSM have MA & PA to Diff. On my 06 & 07 yoke s both to transfer. On my LX & LC's 98,00 & 01's all yoke's to diff.

    I wrongly stated your propeller shaft was on backward. I've since learned Toyota at some point turn the propeller shaft around, so that slip yoke is nearest the transfer case. My 01 is nearest the rear differential. So it's likely 2002 was the year they changed, since you have an 02.

    Grease passing "only about half" is ok, all the way around is best but rarely happens. Older seals especially those that haven't been greased much, tend to be looser allowing grease to flow easily. Yes that's in backwards. May have small effect on seal, as water or sand would push into seal lip...

    Some will see a little hole in back plate of shaft, welch plug as @hankinid called it. This hole was drill mainly by Lexus Dealers shops and some Toyota shop did this as well. It came about because they grew tried of replace drive shaft. Unofficially this fix came from the factory. It relieves...
