I used Valvoline full synthetic grease...while wearing nitrile gloves. This is a no-hurry project as I still need a drive axle and SS brake lines before I drop it off the jackstands. Today I'm going to press the hubs back together, probably get the steering knuckles installed tommorow or Monday.

One thing that really disappointed me was the fact the rear bearings are so small they don't hold alot of grease. I'm going to make sure I pack the cavity between the bearings and load up as much as possible.

I'm sure I'll never have to change the front bearings again but after looking at the rear bearings I'll no doubt be changing them a few years down the road. Definately one area Subaru went cheap.
