Outer Limits 4x4 Board

im in the middle of replacing rear pinion seal, the owners manual says to put multi purpose grease on new seal before fitting it, i have some lithium grease here that i use on the bmx bike bearings. is that ok to use??
please help as i need to get this job done today.
thanks

I would - but I'm no expert on this stuff.

I reckon it's just to ensure the seal is lubricated on first start - after that, it will probably be lubricated internally. I don't see that the lithium will cause any problems.

that grease is fine, its just to stop you wrecking the seal when installing the pinion.

thanks scott and zoltan, back to the shed i go
