[Healeys] Knock off grease

[Bob Spidell]

I use the same ol' moly grease I use for king pins, propshaft, etc.

Used to use anti-seize, but decided it didn't provide sufficient friction reduction (the splines do rub, and need a good 
grease). Also, had too many shirts and pants with permanent, circular grease stains (anti-seize doesn't come out in the 
wash).

Hint: if you do use an anti-seize, or even a 'regular' grease, spin the knockoffs onto the hub whilst you work around 
them--the clothes you save may be your own.
