Final drive

[Road Slug]

I am removing my rear wheel and want to remove the final drive and clean the splines in both the wheel and driveshaft splines.
Looks like a brown wheel bearing grease.
What kind of grease should be used?

I have a jar of loctite moly grease that I used on the splines for my yamaha shaft drive motorcycle a few years back. Stuff was expensive.

It's generally considered that a Moly PASTE is the best thing to use on the splines.

Moly PASTE is used on the wheel splines and inside the final drive - i.e. final drive output splines to the wheel. Moly GREASE is what Honda recommends on the drive shaft splines and 'input' splines on the final drive. The Loctite 8012 moly paste is good for the wheel to FD splines - stir it up before you use it (use that chopstick left over from last night's take-out).

Does the driveshaft slide out altogether so you can lube the splines front near the universal?

Nope, not unless you want to unbolt the rear end and remove it.

Thanks. Got it all back together. Inspected swingarm, cleaned and lubed.
