Norway Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 2005 CV713 18K axle with all in one bearing & hubs ( Volvo )On the repair instructions for the front axle spindle and bearing it calls for P/N 6000-1161247 Grease and specifically states Do Not Use MG-C Chassis Grease which is similar to top of the line Synthetic Grease like Valvoline that states for Mack MG-C.Is this 6000-1161247 Grease only going to come from a Mack or Volvo Dealer ? or is there an equivalent.The instructions also state Always Change the Hub Nut. Is this the case ?The reason I ask is the parts list state Locknut ( Nylon Insert ). Mine don't appear to have ( or ever did have ) a nylock insert. Nor does it bite in, like a all steel lock nut would.Thanks in advance Rob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25568-grease-for-cv713-front-axle-repair/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsteve01 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I don't know about an equivalent for the grease, but I can tell you that it is a heavy white lithium based grease, brand name Gleitmo. As grease goes, it's astronomically expensive. As far as the nut, they say replace the nut because they come with per applied thread locker on them, at least all the ones I have replaced have.

gsteve01 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Oh and one tube of that grease will last you awhile, I usually do 5 trucks with one tube. Since they are sealed roller bearings, all u really have to do is smear a little on the spindle.

mackone Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Can you replace just the sealed bearings in these, Or is it the complete hub assembly that has to be replaced?
