Chris,
Moly grease for the splines (IMHO). Use an acid brush to get it down
into the bottom of the teeth. Don't overdo it or the stuff will get
flung out all over the place. As for the grease in the brake drum, it is
not caused by over greasing the spline. Sounds like you are due for a
new set of seals. New seals can be had at any good bearing supply house.
They are run-of-the-mill metric seals and will be had by giving the
inner and outer diameters and the overall seal thickness.

| While I've got the rear wheel off, I figure I ought to grease the splines. I can't remember...plain ol' grease or moly grease? Also, on the inside of the brake drum side of the wheel, I can see streaks where oil or grease has been slung around and out...cleaned this stuff off my wheels last week too. I'm gonna clean everything real good and re-grease it (lightly) saturday and watch. Does over greasing the splines work its way into the other side or does it sound like my bearing seal is gone or something else entirely? Help!
