Tom: I am pretty sure you did not mean to say "grease" but "gear oil"???

BTW: I have seen and presently have the "quick-fix" seal, which fits into the hole in the axle housing that the axel exits. I also have (somewhere) the source that I obtained them from. I have found them in rear ends that we worked on, but do not know how well they work. I am sure they are better than nothing though...
