Yes.

"Wheel bearing grease" is a specific product made for cars and trucks that have ball or roller bearings for the axle spindles.

What you have in your grease gun (and mine) is just multi-purpose grease. It probably says that on the side of the cartridge. [/quote:1lawf3t7]

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding, and thank you for the explanation.
In my youth, working on my bicycles and mopeds I always used general purpose grease for the ball bearings, then. I wasn't aware of the existence of a special wheel bearing grease.

Do stick around, it's just that some people don't want to be educated.
