[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 105591, member: 437"] The water cuts down on the viscosity of the grease and hampers it's ability to lubricate your bearings. If you're already having bearing/heat issues... water in the grease is going to make it worse. If they were getting that hot.. the water is going to try to turn to steam inside the hub. What do they clean vehicle undercarriages and grease traps in restaurants with? Steam. WM, if there is grease on the back side of your hub (and it was previously clean), your seal is leaking. There should be no grease or oily film with good seals. [/QUOTE]
