Synthetic is the best, it will not mix with water and last longer. You can also take a screwdriver and a hammer and lightly tap on the edge of that big nut to get the nut off,the bearing load is not that much.

I want to check my front wheel bearings because wheels seem hard to turn when lifted off ground.I'm fairly handy with a wrench, is there a how to guide on the site ? Or it pretty straightforward , take the locking hub off and just keep taking apart ? Is there an inner and outer bearing ?Thanks for any help .

Are you sure the brake pads are releasing and the hubs are unlocked? Otherwise the answer is yes to all of those questions. My dad used to say "A good book and a bit of common sense will go a long way" then he would tell me "dont bother packing a lunch" hmmm I still don't get it.
