Hi Guys,
Ok, so I removed the axles from the car. Before removing them, I measured the end play. I had 0.013 inch end play - too much. The bearings were worn, so I will be replacing them.
When I did my front bearings, I used Sta-lube’s heavy duty drum brake grease. It is the thick, yellow, stringy grease that packs well. Is this what I should use in the rear as well? My only reason for asking is that the 37s have grease zerks for greasing the bearings. The Sta-lube wheel bearing grease is not the kind you can pump into a zerk. It is much thicker.
Also, what gear oil weight should I use? I read that GL-4 hypoid is recommended but what weight?
Thanks guys.
Nate
