Have YOU Lubed Your Rear End.......Lately ?

I'm in the middle of going over my 8.75 & thought I would tell those of you who have NOT greased your rear axle bearings, there is nothing to be afraid of.. Very simple.
  Shelbydog did a very good write up some time back on replacing the bearing so I'll just link to that if you need any technical info. l

One thing I will add is cleaning the grease out of my 50K mile bearings was a little more involved than I anticipated.  While there was plenty of clean looking grease still in the tube that on & in the bearing was sticky to even hard.  I first tried carb cleaner but all it was doing was flushing chunks & particles so I changed to my engine cleaning gun for compressed air & shot some mineral spirits in them & after a little soak the black gunk poured out with a second treatment.

Thanks for the reminder on repacking the bearings! I just spent the past 1.5 hours pulling the axles from my Cuda and cleaned/repacked the bearings. This was a very easy job, but I did find out the tab that holds the adjuster from moving on the passenger side isn't there on my car. Someone who previously worked on it just put a chisel to the threads to keep it from moving . I'm also keeping my fingers crossed that I didn't damage the inner seals when I removed the axle however, as I just left them alone (I was very careful when pulling the axle not to tear the seal).

Wouldn't be too hard to fashion an adjuster tab out of a fender washer
