    I'm not 100% but I'm sure I have read that copper grease is no good on bearings

    Little bit of copper slip will be fine on the input shaft.

    Re: Grease type

    Do they mean on the shaft of the spinning part? When I was at a garage we had to get bearings/grease in both hands and force it into the bearing, very messy.. Rubbing it over the top and around the side does little.

    I thought the days of greasing bearings had passed..
