If you clean the bearings and hub assembly as suggested, any good wheel bearing grease will work.

They're probably Dexter axles. If you go to their Web site, you can find the list of approved grease to use.

Any name brand grease is good. I always use Synthetic Oils and lubricants when possible. Costs more but worth it IMHO.

I use my grease on my own 5th wheel’s 6 wheel bearings. Heavy Equipment Lubricant : Alco-MetaLube
Also available on Amazon. This stuff is saltwaterproof too.

Bearings are bearings regardless of who makes the axles, so the best bet is to use good old wheel bearing grease used on cars. I prefer Moly based grease and use Valvoline Ford Moly based lube https://www.valvoline.com/es-ecuador...se-grease-ford
