I believe that Kluber NBU 15 is a grease used for High speed spindles.

There are seals that go in the axle tubes next to the carrier keeping lube out of the tubes. When you take off most of the lube ends up in the tubes. When running these seals you need less lube for the gears. Sealed bearings are meant to use there own lube and keep gear lube from making a mess of your brakes. Tom
