Anyway, to the OP- clean-up that grease and use teflon tape. the lithium grease is ok too and it wont hurt it to mix with the other stuff, but you should always clean things when you disassemble them. please, do us all a favor and stop going to home depot.
Please do us all a favor and stop your anti-big box ranting outside P&R, jeez.
I'm a fan of Supertech marine bearing grease. Bright red, and stains everything it touches(ok, so maybe that's not a plus. But it's easy to see when you have excess grease). And it's 1/5 the cost of phil or park stuff.
When you rebuild as many hubs and BBs as I do, that does make a difference.
