On touring car or buggy diffs I was taught to pack the thrust bearing with lots of thick Assoc. black grease. Is that what I should be doing with the Slapmaster? If not, then how should I approach it?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
The Slapmaster himself has told me either no grease or if you must put a little on your finger and roll the bearing in between your thumb and finger to coat all the balls.
