Do you need to grease up the rear axle bearings, or should I just coat them in some diff oil before installing the axle?

I was going to say diff oil but you will find they are seal bearings, so they are prepacked for there life.

Bit of diff oil to help em bed in, they get lubricated with diff oil anyways once you let the axles back down. Just the thinnest smear of blue silicone (although I didn't do this, and still no leaks).

Yella has no wobbly back wheel no more. So nice!!!! Axle flange was out by 17.5 thousands of an inch (0.5mm) which translated to about 6 or 7mm at the treads.
