[6pack] Axle Grease - How Much to Use?

[Sally or Dick Taylor]

Bob---I don't think one can over-pack this area. Still, there's no need to have excess.   So I just brush the molygrease on and into the male splined half, and using the same stiff brush, reach into the female side as far as possible, to paint around these splines. There will be some excess, pushed back into the recess, as well as some squeezing to the outside. Not much heat generated in this area, so what grease is applied should stay put.

Folks.....when reassembling the two halves of a TR6 axle, how much grease do
you pack in there? Do you just coat the splines or do you pack it in so that
a bunch squishes out when you press the two halves together?
 
Thanks
