HRR2168VKA rear wheels locking up - dealer can't seem to fix

[civic]

Bill,

I lubed my shaft with marine grease that is very sticky. The only thing about grease is that it attracts dirt. I am going to give this a shot, if it does not work I will try a dry lube like graphite. I will keep this thread posted if I need to do this.

I'm doing similar...I'm trying a 'red sticky' grease. But only for the axle bearings. As to using the grease that comes in the chain saw lube gun, I replaced that with the 'red sticky' stuff. If nothing else, this stuff is reallllly waterproof! Been able to hose off the underside occasionally without fear of the bearing going 'dry'.

I feel that the heavier grease adds more of a cushion (if that's even a term) between the bronze bearing and steel shaft.
