I seal the heads of the spokes on the back of the hub and inside the hub =
next to the splines with body sealant (clean the surfaces thoroughly =
before sealing them). This helps keep the grease from coming out along =
the spokes. I tried several sealants, including silicone, but found =
them all unsatisfactory. The silicone turned to jelly and was the devil =
to remove. Whether it was the brand of silicone I used or the grease, I =
don't know. The one sealant that worked without deteriorating in the =
presence of the grease was 3M body sealant.

I use wheel bearing grease, and apply it to all splined surfaces/teeth =
of the wheel and hub. Put the wheel on and then remove it, remove the =
excess grease pushed to the rear of the splines, then reinstall the =
wheel. I clean the splines and relubricate whenever I remove a wheel. =
My wheels were bought new in 1990 and now have about 90,000 miles on =
them and are showing no wear -- nor are the hub splines.

Howdy all=20
Wotking on my wife's 67 B.
Bought new wire wherls for it. My Healey has disc wheels.
How do I grease them? Do I grease the wherl hubs or the spline? I want =
to clean everything and inspect stuff. But I remember reading about =
oozing grease due to improperly applying the stuff. I just don't recall =
the correct process.
Thanks.
Btw
Car sat for over 25 years.
