Im slow getting my conditional inspection done this year in part due to no availability
of Aeroshell 6 for the prop hub. Does anyone have a source for 14 oz
tubes or a good alternative? Everything Ive come across indicates you have to
do a complete gun disassembly to switch to a different grease.
Thanks,
Marcus

Hartzell switched to a different product last year, but I don=92t know if y
ou can co-mingle the grease. I suspect not.
I made the switch when I had my prop serviced last year.

You can absolutely NOT co-mingle the grease. They have been using the
new grease for several years now. There will be a sticker on the prop
hub (mostly hidden by the spinner front plate) that will say what grease
is used. They say that if you use the wrong grease, you have 25 hours to
get the prop torn down, cleaned and resealed. Don=99t ask me how I
know. Make sure you use the grease that is in the hub.
Also, most prop shops tell me that the grease needs to be added every
100-500 hours (differing based on the source), not necessarily every
year.

Yep, the "new grease" (Nyco something??)can NOT be mixed with Aeroshell 6, you
need to take the hub apart and clean out all the old grease. However, Aeroshell
5 can be mixed with 6 (you have to placard against low temperature operations,
I forget the number but it's pretty cold.) if you can find that. In line with
an earlier post, I know of at least one A&P who recommends never re-greasing
the hub, as over-greasing causes all sorts of problems. Of course this is contrary
to Hartzell's instructions, do at your own risk.
