Spindle grease??

[Primo's Silvia]

So here is my NoooB!! Question , and yees i tried researching and the info the repeatedly came was the grease tht goes in the hub for the bearings.

So i jus finished my 5lug front conversion, and i am curious to know if i have to place "hub grease" on spindles and then slide on the conversion hubs? Cuz off my knowledge it does not spin wat spins is the hub itself so do i really need to grease it? Or is it just so it doesnt sieze when i want to remove them? Thank you guys!

Any final word on whether or not spindles need to be greased before the hub is slipped on??

Thanks!

Does it NEED to be greased? no. the contact surfaces between the spindle and hub are stationary. Grease may help in seating a new hub bearing if you're attempting to install it in a not recommended way.

What the original question had to do with was greasing the inside of the bearing.
What it turned into was " I grease the spindle, and you should too. it wont hurt "

So you should take away from that what you want and possibly hit up small question thread next time/for further advice from the masses. You'll get more answers and less shit for bumping up old threads over there anyway.
