Heres a section taken from Toyota offroad website #12 points out not to mix soda greases, a different term for sodium the chemical reaction causes the oil thats mixed into grease to seperate and leak out thru the wiper seal
I would like to thank Toyota 4-runner forums to allow me to post this info beings I have been banned from several other Toyota websites for attempting to clue you all on to this, I presented this info to Marlin Crawler Forums been banned!! bummer, I dont know if they know better and dont care or if they dont want to think they have been tricked by some thing as silly as grease.
I did order some of that Toyota grease its not the grease for the knuckle but interestingly enough it is a synthetic oil and lithium soap a #1 grade I would say but no mention of molybedendum disulphate wich seems to be in all of the Toyota FSM
here you go
PACKING BEARINGS:
Pack the bearings by placing a glob of grease in your (clean) hand and hold the bearing with the wider side of it down. Keep dipping the bearing into the grease until the grease flows out the other side. Spin the bearing and start dipping again. Continue this until you've completely gone all the way around the bearing. I recommend buying a bearing packer, they're quicker and cleaner to use. Put a little smear of grease on the outside of the bearing and insert it into the race.
1. A few good rules to follow: Use clean solvent and brushes and dry thoroughly with clean air.
2. Never spin-dry bearings; this causes scratching of the polished surface and may result in premature failure.
3. Do not pack the bearing unless it is perfectly dry.
4. Good practice calls for a thorough inspection after cleaning and before reinstallation. Bearings are often hammered or pulled without respect for such precision made assemblies. Re-assembly of a damaged bearing results in short component life.
5. Pack the bearing immediately following cleaning, drying and inspection.
6. Do not use an excessive amount of grease - be sure it is worked into every bearing space, but do not fill the hub with grease.
7. Keep bearings clean, work on a clean bench and do not handle bearings with dirty or moist hands.
8. When re-assembling check the bearing for proper seating.
9. Check adjustments carefully. Most vehicle manufacturers nominate a torsion wrench setting for bearing assemblies. Use a torque wrench and do not exceed the manufacturer's recommendation.
10. Check brake shoe clearance, the dragging tip of a brake shoe or pad can create very high wheel temperatures in a short run.
11. Keep grease containers completely covered when not in use to avoid contamination. (Replace the lid immediately sufficient grease has been removed from the container).
12. Do not mix different types of grease. Under no circumstances must lithium based multi-purpose grease be mixed with soda base wheel bearing grease or an adverse chemical reaction will occur.
13. Carefully avoid contact of the packed bearing with dirt, dust, water or dirty hands.
14. Use the correct grade of grease for the job. Do not at any time use chassis grease. If the vehicle is used in very arduous service or under unusual conditions of load and speed, check with the manufacturer for correct grease recommendation ..........."""
I do have scans of shop manuals, I have emailed them to Toyota 4- runner forums and can do so again
