Re: 1971 K20- project just get driveable!!
Whenever I rebuild a rear end or have the hubs off I always fill each hub with lube before installing the hub and fill the diff with lube, then jack one side of the truck way up and let the fluid fill the hub. Then I repete for the opposite side. I do this one more time with less angle after the first 2 to help make sure each hub should have the same amount in them. I used to pack the bearings but a lot of wheel bearing grease will gum up these newer type semi synthetic gear lubes and a lot of the stuff I work on require it.
