I've got one side of internals from the axle cleaned up. All the axle hardware was cleaned with saftikleen, evaporust and then ultrasonically cleaned. I spent a good amount of time on the birfield joint and I cleaned it very thoroughly. It is spotless and ready for a light coat of paint.
There may be a tiny amount of grease trapped, but nothing that worries me.
The question now is, how do I add grease effectively? I was going to take the grease gun and rotate the axle to different positions, fill it til it pukes from a spot and keep doing that until it looks full. Maybe hand pack some to be safe.
Is there a more logical way to do this?
I've also been losing sleep over finding the right grease, but I find that I do this more than I should. I'm sticking with the 5% moly Valvoline stuff that @Output Shaft uses, because I cant find the Redline CV2 in a reasonable time frame.
