Hi DJ,

This is probably one of those questions that have a dozen different
preferences. I use white Lithium on the splines, inner tapered seating
face & outer tapered face that the spinner bears on. About once a year I
wipe down the old grease & apply new. If you live in a wet climate I
would do it a bit more often. You don't have to worry much about
tightening, as they are self tightening. Unless you drive backward a
lot, in which case they are self loosening.
