Aisin fwh Lets talk about grease

[SteveR]

Hi all

Just about to strip down aisin manual free wheeling hubs and have a look.
have seen various videos on well know sight and seems pretty straightforward, though they all seem to be based on toyota landcruiser but assume they are exactly the same.

My question is grease. What should i be using bearing in mind I'm very unlikely to be doing any deep water crossing. Is normal wheel bearing beige grease ok. or should it be the grey/ black moly stuff.
The rubber "O" ring in the manual twist bit, will the same grease be ok for this or will it ruin it.

Any pointers on problem areas welcome.

Multi-purpose grease is fine. No you don't need that moly grease.
If there in reasonable condition you won't need to strip them down completely, just a light clean and regrease. They don't want packing with grease either, just a little over everything.
Below is just from the workshop manual, but as you said there are plenty of write-up's out there.
Add any useful links, I'm sure they won't mind. SuzukiClub UK is not like those sites that won't allow you too.

Thanks for that Darrell

FWH now all almost as good as new.
Watch out for the small spring and ball bearing.
Only difficult bit for those going to do it is the snap rings, I've got a set of circlip pliers and they are not the same, fair amount of force and swearing to get those snap rings on and off without right tool as seen on vids on youtube, must try to find one of those over here in Italy.

Only prob now is need some new gaskets as 2 ruined on taking it apart.

thanks again
Steve
