The Detail K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame Utility Trailer # K2MMT5X7 comes with the hubs already assembled to the axle and should already have grease. The manufacturer does recommend checking the amount of grease and adding grease as needed prior to use just to be safe. For that grease you can use any standard high temperature grease like # L11465 or # L11380.
