Another twist on the grease vs oil debate...
My Longtracks setup just arrived today and I was a bit surprised to see the CVs packed with what appears to be EP grease, the red sticky stuff. Same stuff I use on my wheel bearings and ujoints. I was expecting to see either CV grease or a recommendation to use oil. So I looked on the Longfield site and they recommend just pumping 1/2 a tube of such grease into the housing upon install. Their recommendation is for Toys but the Land Rover CVs are the same materials and the housing is a similar design. Thus I'm thinking I will go with what they say and use red EP grease.
For those of you that have already installed these, what did you use?
