Need waterproof grease for splines.

I was just looking at this yesterday while there. They don't even specify what base it uses.... "trade secret." :rolleyes:
Here you go, calcium sulfonate. With a water washout of .5% at 175 degrees it has some of the best washout resistance, I have only found a handful of other greases that are the same or better.

This same issue occurs in bmw x drive units, ive been applying moly antisieze from loctite or moly lit for ages now on a number of them and they are working great.

The original setup is dry and becomes a rusty dust in about 60000 - 100000 miles or so.

Honda goldwings and boxer bmw bikes suffer the same in the rear wheel driver, the moly paste eliminates this.

I also use that in cars that have a similar stub shaft, e.g. mazdas and hondas - the wear issue becomes a thing of the past. (A very good cleaning is required first and a good application with a brush so all splines are coated, dont just dab it on)
