Full Float Ford 9inch Axle Bearing Lubrication Question - Oil or Grease?

[Broncobowsher]

Dana 61 (bastard highway gear version of a 60) you can oil the bearings as well. Just put a lump of grease to make a dam to hold back the oil.

That was my thinking too, it doesn't take much lube to keep from killing a bearing, but that it also doesn't have to go very far when dry to kill them.

I don't mind packing them with grease, I just won't use CV-2 and I won't be so fastidious about the grease packing if I'm expecting them to be oil lubricated. I figure a little moly grease more or less dissolved in the gear lube isn't going to hurt anything.
