Does anyone have handy the guidance on greasing the Hartzell prop hub?
Specifically which grease and any application guidance beyond squirt it in
the port until it shoots everywhere?
Thanks,
Marcus

Most of them come with a decal specifying the grease, usually Aeroshell 6, you remove two of the 4 zerk fittings and pump gently until grease appears at the opposite zerk you removed (same side of hub). Do not force it at all. You do not want grease coming out the prop blade seals..it will start a leak.

I don't have my manual with me but I do know it calls to insert the grease from one side (leading edge or trailing edge of prop blade).
Not sure if that makes a big difference but you might as well follow the directions exactly. Can someone verify that?

I just talked to the factory a couple of weeks ago, they said 1oz, from
front to back, per side per /year! /Grease type is Shell as specified in
the manual.

Thanks for all the responses, great information from everyone. For anyone else that may need it, I found the Hartzell service letter on this and have attached it.

An important thing is… don’t try to purge the old grease with new grease by continually pumping grease through to the opposite side. This will invariably go over the back of the bearing and start filling the hub. Vibration and pesky leaks will follow. I have attached the volume from the Hartzell standard practices concerning current practice and some other detail for balance and storage.
