Grease for Aisin hubs
What do you use. I tried moly, but that didn't keep the moisture at bay and its pretty corroded in there. I think I will try the grease that I use on the drivetrain (can't remember what its called, but its red).

I know that valvoline makes a water resistance multi purpose grease for wheel bearings......I think that would work

I'm almost positive that's what I used the last time I broke into my locking hubs, and I had no problems. If we're thinking of the same stuff it should be a red color.

Correct...too much grease (which a lot of people think is GOOD) will create a vacuum making the hub dials impossible to turn. Rebuild "kits" can be purchased from the Toyota dealer for about 10 bucks (for both sides) This includes a new paper gasket and o-ring

I'll jump on the bandwagon - you want a thin layer of pretty much any grease. It doesn't matter what kind, in a hub the cheapest stuff works just as well as the most expensive. Just a thin layer, and rely on the seals to keep water out, not the grease.
I use that red Valvoline multi-purpose stuff for everything, and have not had any problems out of it. Got a tub of it, and a tube of it in the grease gun.
