Seen some similar posts, but they all were regarding oil bronze bushings.
I have a dryer that has steel on steel plain bearings for the drum rollers. I imagine the originals were bronze, but this is how I received it. Normally I'd just get OEM style wheels to replace them (or find a way to get some ball bearings in there), but I'll be selling the dryer before winter. I just want to get it in the best condition I can for whoever its future owner is (without spending $60 on roller wheels). Part number for the wheels is 8536973 if a reference is needed.
Any idea what would work best here? I have plenty of different lubricants lying around. A few that seem like good contenders are

- Silicone grease w/ PTFE
- Timken wheel bearing grease
- NLGI #2 GC-LB lithium complex EP w/ moly
- Or, if dust and lint collection is really a concern, maybe Hornady One Shot
