What he said. Plenty of it. If you haven't done it yet grease props too.

I only ever use two types of grease either LM or copper. LM is for most bearings,UJs, anything with a grease nipple.

Copper tends to be where surfaces contact not a lot of movement. Brake pad backs, where brake shoe mechanism contacts back plate. Just to stop them seizing together.

Not always neccessary just a preference.
