Do the dana axle end bearings run dry or wet.?

Have a squeak and it sounds like a dry squeak. Can I just pull axle and grease up the bearing? OR does it use the diff fluid for lubrication?
thanks

Bearings need to be packed.

According to my '70 shop manual, it shows outer AND inner seals which means THEY MUST BE PACKED

Manual says "lubricate bearings with Multi-purpose grease, NLGI grade 2 E.P. or equivalent

This is taken from the Dana 60 Manual.

Are you saying he can't use those instructions to repack his axle bearings?

Not if it's a truck style full floater...
