Hi Chris,
 
How do you grease the bearings on the elevator and rudder?  Access to the bearings on my Legacy is too small to allow much more than the nozzle on a can spray lubricant.  Do you remove the control surfaces to get access? 
 
Thanks,
Dennis
I use bearing grease for 'exterior' bearings==> those that are likely exposed to the elements or are subjected to higher loads.  This forms a better barrier to resist moisture penetration etc.  Any gap between bearing and race is filled with grease.
For interior applications I use LPS2. ==> this spray lubricant has less friction than grease.
