The car I'm rebuilding uses this kind of bearing in the transmission axles hubs. Which grease should they use? Regular or the one for C.V. joints?

If the bearing didn't come with grease, or a recommendation for grease, I'd be inclined to use high temperature wheel bearing grease.

    They're built to a different recipe, because the loading is different. I'd spend the minimal amount and get the correct stuff. I can't say if it would work or not, of course, but I just wouldn't trust it; bearings cost money, and usually a lot of swearing to get them into place.
