Frank, my experiment has been done successfully thousands of times. And its no my experiment, its the entire Toyota world's experiment. I have not created any protocol here, merely I am arguing that your protocol is not that of the Toyota design. There is no need for me to repeat it. Your welcome to experiment with your stuff and show that it could potentially last as long as the status quo, but stock rebuild with #2 don't leak after 5-10 years so your experiment is pointless.
Its like taking two subject and saying guy A is going to drink water and guy B is going to drink gasoline. We will compare them to see if the gasoline is actually better than the water. Well we all know its fine to drink water and the effects of drinking gasoline should be examined on their own. Well, everyone but you knows that #2 is fine to run, just like Toyota installed and just like the FSM and every Toyota repair specialist recommends. Your welcome to compare your results with ours but we don't need to set up a controlled axle as every other axle on the road will be one lol.
As for your offer, I want nothing to do with you. I think you are a liar, mis-informed and a liability. You've lied about Toyota's recommendation to service wheel bearings, you've lied about the presence of machined lube grooves in the knuckes and despite a factory Toyota employee telling you they run #2 you continue to insist they did not from the factory. There is no doubt in my mind you would lie and cheat to make your product stand on its own leg.

Kurt you win.. stop egging the troll on
Ummm... maybe you should call up international and tell them that they have been doing it wrong for all these years too I don't understand how they would be putting Grease in all of their axles like Toyota does... oh no I get it it is a conspiracy so that they can sell more axles and keep their mechanics in business
TROLL

You know what shows ignorance? Reading a 1940 repair manual from a vehicle that is not a Toyota then deducing that since both have closed knuckles that they are the same. Do have any proof that you know what Toyota used in the knuckles from the factory? It seems that you made a claim and your only validation is that none of us where there to witness for ourselves.
Why would I want to test your **** in my Land Cruiser when following the instructions in my FSM works with issue? BTW, calling me a lemming will not help your case.

Why so hositile?
Kurt, no need to call me a liar I am only trying to point out something that you dont want to here. Prove your not a liar and comment on the article by Steve Turchet, Any how its been interesting At some point somebody with a bit of mechanical background will read this and understand what I am trying to tell you.
International does decribe a semi fluid, viscous means sryup or glue like get a dictionary.

Steve Turchet article specific to the toyota axle
Land Cruiser axles.
This paragraph right here
As soon as Steve writes an article specific to the Toyota axle, then I'll consider it as applicable, until then it is apples & oranges. Many full-float rear axles use gear lube for the rear bearings, again while similar looking the Toyota is different, instead running an inner axle seal and specifying a grease be used for the bearing an mileage. Guess what, just like every bit of Toyota's documentation, they came with a moly grease in the knuckle. Amazing eh.
No, just as every Toyota document has insisted since day one, it is an inspection plug se to replace the specified GREASE inside of a knuckle. Sorry, your a moron![/QUOTE]

liabilty
Kurt, your definitly correct about me being a liabilitly. I am liable to chink away at your Toyota propaganda and get you out of that quick sand. I have given you quite a bit of info, read up on it ,look into it. And quite possibly you can get the right info to your customer base.
I understand that your hurt and lash out and call me a liar, but after all even your own dog will bite and snap at you if he,s hurt bad enough
If you will send me a e-mail adress I can forward scans of shop manuals to you.
As far as no recommended service interval for the wheel bearings, Well thats what the Toyota service manager told me personally If some one with 15+ years as a service manger tells me that I would tend to to think he would know the Toyota service procedures. Theres a reason for this.
it has to do with warranty laws by the Fair trade commission.
The thing is have you ever heard of Trade Secrets, this might just be one of them, The exact ingredents of this lube is a trade secret. Dont be mad just look into it. I think the Tjoutfitters has a line on this secret grease.
Or are you afraid I am right, If you call me a moron your calling Steve Turchet a moron as well.

As found on JTOutfitters.com, their "Correct Grease" as included in the kit is Valvoline Multi Purpose Grease.
