I'm upgrading a few parts on my C8.25 and while I have it apart I'm replacing a few stock parts as well. Two of the things I'm replacing are the bearings and seals at the ends of the axle tube. Is there any secret to installing the new bearings and more importantly, do the new bearings need to be greased before I install them, or are the bearings lubed by the diff oil? I noticed some diff fluid coming out of the ends of the axle tubes when I pulled the shafts, but the new bearings have a little bit of grease already on them as well.
Also, if the bearings do get greased, what type of grease should I use?
It's my first time replacing bearings, so thanks for any help.
