Rear-end oil? That is a hugely long debate, and I have witnessed it cause glorious uprisings comparable to the Hatfield–McCoy feud. My 93 Marathon manual tells me to use 90wt so that is what I use. |

Re: Thursday is the day for new rear bearings
Its alive!!
we got everything ready- pan on- was having tough time figuring out how to refill it my son convinced me to let the pan gasket dry retighten the bolts and fill on friday night or saturday 35 years ago I would have slammed it together, but I think he is right- lets slow down and make it right still looking for safe easy way to refill rear end |

One of the axle housing shafts may have a vent cap. Unthread it and use a small funnel. Some differential housings have a vent tube at the case just above the pan mounting flange, or this possibly could be plugged with an allen screw plug. I am glad your son is there to prevent you from slamming it all together in a rush, you raised him well I usually just let the RTV set for a couple hours though, if you wait too long the RTV will set with any voids permanently fixed within the made seal causing a path for future leaks to work out. Glad your nearing the end of this experience. |

Here's a link to the Dana Axel:

Re: Thursday is the day for new rear bearings
Thank you Gentlemen and all others tooooo-
I forgot to say thank you after putting in the new solenoid, I soaked the boltss that were frozen with some kroil and some heat for about 6 or 7 days and when I went to put a wrench on them, they came off so easy- lol- like my neighbor said preparation is a good thing |
