When you apply the silicone you dont need much just a nice 1/4inch thick bead all the way around. make sure to kleen off the excess before it dries.

I agree, I just did this last weekend. And yes, if you have a limited slip rear, you do need the special "limited slip, or Positraction" rearend gear oil. If I remember right I bought two of the smaller bottles of fluid and it was enough, I think they were 1 quart bottles??? Memory sucks.
