Thanks Olblue. I got things apart now and my question is - do the rear wheel bearings run in grease or oil from the rear end? There is a trace of grease in one of the old bearings, but the whole works was full of oil. Is it normal when you pull the axle shaft out to have about a cup of oil run out or was my differential over filled? Thanks again for any and all replies.
