Default One piece rear main install

Hi, going thru the directions and wondering for those that have installed the 1 piece seal what you're using for high pressure grease per instructions? Between the seal lips. I have some wheel bearing grease, but wondering if that would work or swell up the rubber?

The only grease I have is Amsoil synthetic wheel bearing grease and I installed a new one piece seal when I installed my new crank two years ago so I guess that’s what I used.

My grease isnt synthetic , so wasnt sure if it would be ok or not. Was thinking long term about grease swelling rubber parts.

Wheel bearing grease used on probably 40 of them. No issues or leaks.

Regular wheel Bearing grease is all that's needed, as this area in no way see's the load factor that the wheel bearings do, nor the potential heat build up from the brakes!
