For grease, get molybdenum disulfide, that's what the manual says anyway. Look on the container, it should say it. I just got a can of the stuff and it's really cool because you get to scoop it out with your fingers. You can't tell me that's not fun!

Just a little hint when your putting the axle back in put some grease on it, mine had none. I just used HTB didn't read about using moly grease. I never bothered using a torque wrench on the sprocket nuts just do em up tight. Only thing I use a torque wrench for is engine parts (head, barrel etc)

Cheers

I used to work at Pennzoil Instant Oil change, and when the grease ran out, you had to take the big bag that was inside of a 16 gallon drum and squeeze it into the new drum, because the pump would leave like 2 inches in the bottom.... its not fun, grease up to you elbows is not fun at all... but just on your fingers is ok....

I would put some medium loctite on those sprocket bolts. I don't know if your sprockets are showing any wear but any reputable mechanic would advise you to change sprockets and chain as a set. We all know we don't but there you go. I put a 13 t sprocket but I had only 300 miles on it.
