Hello Alex, I was just cleaning my bearing balls and I realized that I don't have waterproof grease in handy, so can I use Vaseline (pure petroleum jelly) instead for now until I get a waterproof grease?
Thank you, Ghaleb
Vaseline will melt when hot. From friction.
Use a grease. Automotive wheel bearing grease will work fine, or marine waterproof grease. Even better.
Bicycle greases when available. Although I'd still use marine grease myself. Got bunch of it for my motorcycle.
Never Give Up!!!
+1 on the boat trailer wheel bearing grease. Inexpensive and lasts a very long time.
