"Blue" grease doesn't mean anything. You need a tube of high pressure grease. This kind of grease is usually black in color, and is usually a molybdenum based grease as I recall.. Pressure from bearings can really tear up the molecular stands in it if the molecular structure is not correct. I would just get some of the little tubes of CV grease from Ken Wilford at Vanagain.com or from Rohn Salmon at BusDepot.com. Then you know you have "the right stuff"!
