Should I pack the rear "green" bearings with grease or is either gear or motor oil sufficient when replacing axles on 8.75?
Thanks!

Where is the grease seal? Located inside or outside the bearing's location in the axle tube?

Aren't "green" bearings sealed?

Yes they pretty much are, just didn't want to install them "dry" and was wondering if they should be oiled or lubed prior to sliding in axles.
