What is sticky and pumped in your wheel hub? Grease.
The grease picks up the metallic particles and suspends them...guess what...if that grease with suspended metallic shavings happens to move in front of the tone ring...false ABS sensor readings. I
If it works for you...good luck... but you wont find this procedure being done in my shop anytime soon.
Oh yea....and if my logic wasnt true...your rear differential would be packed full of axle grease
Again, what's in the hub to begin with...grease. If your logic was even remotely close to true, then false ABS readings would happen with the factory fill of grease. So explain why that doesn't happen? Grease is grease, you even stated that in this very post.
The rear diff needs fluid because the fluid is pumped (via the ring gear) across the pinion bearings to lubricate and remove heat...can't pump grease that easy, different (and wrong) application. Further, I've pulled ABS sensors from rear diffs that had metallic fuzz on them (they are magnetic)...those sensors still worked fine. So how does the metallic bits in the grease affect the sensor again??
I'm done here...its not worth me arguing the point.
Have a nice day.

So glad it's a free country
One other question, How do you propose getting enough grease in the hub with enough pressure to actually "pack" the bearings are you using a fitting?
