On the bench: All the bits cleaned up so it's time to put the rear end all back together. First up, repack the wheel bearings with grease, brake backplates (L&R) in the correct position, gaskets and gasket goo to go and slide the axles down the tubes, being careful not to damage the oil throwers as they go in. little bit of oil around the rim of the bearing, move the axles back out a little and warm the bearing end of the tube up a fracko immediately before using the press to push the cold axle bearing home into the tube. With the axle assemblies up on the bench, tighten up the backplate nuts. Almost need a hoist to lift the diff housing up onto the bench, comes in at almost 25 kilos. Shout the diff a new worm
seal while at it. Certainly won't break an axle in a commercial when you compare the worm spline to the axle spline,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
