STOP EVERYTHING! Don't move! PM me your shipping address ASAP! We have a lube situation that requires immediate assistence!

All that hard work you are doing and all the money you are spending my be (at this very moment) compromised...

That grease is mediocore at best - actually it is a good grease for high speeds because lithium 12 Hydroxy Stearate won't channel like some other greases will but the drop point is real low (thats the temp it liquifies at) and the Timken (although it is a *****ty test to understand grease) is real low as well - 40lbs is like vasolene. If you want to check the water resistance, take a glob in the palm of your hand and run water under it froma facet. As you do that, take your fingers from your other hand and smear the grease into your palm. I would be will to bet you a case of greae that the grease you have will start breaking down and easily wash away. That is what is going to happen in your bearings!

Also, mixing grease is never a good thing and using 10 year old stuff is even worse. I bet when you opened it up their was a mice little layer of oil on the top? Ouch!
