reassembling my rear diff this weekend from being "dry" - I kept a little oil in it during the several year restoration and occasionally spun the gears to keep lubed.
however, I've completely cleaned the gears, torque tubes, half shafts, installed new outer bearings and have split the hubs - basically cleaned and/or renewed everything. I'm also installing new outer oil seals.
anyway, before re-inserting the splined ends of the half shafts to the inner differential - should I use any special grease (or any grease at all) on the splined ends? also should i lightly grease or lubricate the insides of the torque tubes?
finally, what recommended diff oil do you guys use?
thanks, wes
