This has been recommended by several senior members for the wheel bearings for some time. Down to my last 1/2 can. Looks to be discontinued. Anything similar?

Some suppliers may still have some. Here is one that has a limited supply. https://www.motion.com/products/sku/01444965 Tom

Probably going to get beat up, but my thoughts: I can understand why you wouldn't use the low temp drum brake grease on a disc brake application, but what is wrong with the high temp bearing grease on a drum brake application? The newer lubricants are superior to the older ones according to all the specs Thoughts?

Several of us have tried the disc and drum grease and found that the rear bearings did not last very long and that the axle housings were damaged by the lack of correct lubrication. Supereal wrote in the V-8 Times July/ Aug 2007 that the rear roller bearings require a fiber grease and I don't know of any other grease that is a fiber grease. The fibers allow the roller bearings to pull the grease into the bearing providing the lubrication. The rear wheel bearings not only support the weight of the car, they also support the drive thrust. Cylinder type roller bearings have different grease requirements than ball bearings. I don't have the time to ask CRC what they would recommend as a replacement for the rear bearings on our Fords, but maybe someone could call and ask them.
