Don,
The relevant Vanagon content is the discussion about bearings & grease.
I did not even mention the danger of mixing incompatible grease & since you
don't know what's in your sealed bearings, how do you even know what to put
in them! The carriers in some incompatable greases can combine and
completely liquefy, causing all of the grease to run out of your bearings!
This is why you completely remove old grease from non-sealed wheel bearings
before re-packing them.
Mike S took it upon himself to throw a jab at my business which really is
suffering because we are buried with orders and we are shipping late. It's
not good but better than the opposite problem!
Thanks,
Tom Hargrave

Where is the Vanagon content in THIS statement? Is it friday already? What
was gained by posting a link to a completely unrelated forum, discussing a
topic not even remotely vanagon related? Does that somehow make Tom not
eligible to post here? I personally enjoy the free flow of VANAGON related
thoughts here, and I'd hope that most listmembers would correct a mistake
with a smile, not a fist.
YMMV,
Don
