| What is the meaning of a well-oiled bearing that always sticks at rest, but 
once moving turns freely?
I have just taken out two differentials.  Both were turning freely when I took 
them out; I flushed with kerosene, then degreaser; and re-oiled with engine 
oil.  Both seized completely when dry before re-oiling.  One freed up 
completely when oiled, and the other remains sticky at rest.
