I just cleaned/repacked my birfs. It was definitely time as one birf gushed out what appeared to black greasy oil only slightly thicker than the black oil in the diff.
I locked my diffs and then discovered that naturally the birfields flats did not line up properly for removal. So was I supposed to disconnect the front driveshaft in order to rotate the axle (since the rear wheels where on the ground)? When I unlocked the cdl the axle lockers also unlocked (according to the flashing light) so I did the job with an unlocked diff (which gave me no problems btw). What part of lock the front locker when pulling axles do I not understand?
Next I get to readjust the bearings as I think they are a bit too warm after my 50 mile highway drive in cool weather.
