Shimano rollerbrake grease - alternatives?

Hey my dear knowledgeable fellow board members,


several years ago I built a rear wheel around a shimano hub that interlocks with the Shimano rollerbrakes. I've been super-happy with it until a couple of months ago, when the squealing and loss of modulation started to bother me. I'll have to open the rollerbrake, clean it a bit and then replace the grease. Problem is, one 100 mL tub of such grease ordered from Germany, would end up costing me EUR 35-40 including postage. I can't really justify that sort of expense, and am tempted to just replace the rollerbrake.

Unless someone can tell me an alternative grease that's compatible with the Shimano rollerbrake grease.
