What wheel bearing grease do you use?
I have repacked a number of wheel bearings recently and the general preference seems to be for a cheapo general purpose wheel bearing grease, however I am noticing that this grease tends to dry out in a lump between the inner and outer bearings, which doesn't seem right.
I always understood that the grease was supposed to melt at normal operating temperature and 'bathe' the wheel bearings, but this doesn't seem to be happening.
