dunno sounds better than dissembling them every time you want to grease them up

The axles don't need lube... the ring and pinion are the only things to worry about getting some grease, but why? Just drill a small hole and find a small rubber plug to seal it up... then give it a shot of WD-40 before and after each run. Although it'll leak out after a bit, especially if you have the diff housing shaved.

this has been discussed before, but i dont remember what the title was so a search would be hard. Anyway everyone has their own way of doing it. But most involve some kind of hole in the axle and some way to plug it.
