Significant Technical Input
It says: Apply sufficient grease to oil seal lip. Specified grease: SHELL 6459N
If specified grease is not available, remove bearing grease and apply Auto Rex A instead.
Do not mix different types of grease.

Personally, I've been replacing Subaru (and many other makes) hub bearings for years and just use normal disc brake wheel bearing grease. I don't recall ever having a comeback on a wheel bearing.

I just replaced the tires on mine today because the ones that were on there sounded horrible. Now that the tires are quiet I'm beginning to hear what may pan out to be the beginning of the end for my RR bearing. If so maybe I'll be able to figure out why so many people are having problems with the replacements.
