MikeA777 'Bolter M Joined: Mar 2020 Posts: 87 VA	Hello, I have a 1951 1/2 ton GMC pickup. I'm installing new rear axle seals and bearings as part of a larger project. I assume I need to pour some gear oil on those bearings after install but stop there. It looks like I do NOT pack them with bearing grease. The shop manual says they get their lubricant from the rear axle. Sorry for the dump question. I'm just used to packing bearings before install. I appreciate any advice. Thanks, Mike
