Ok then, you would have to remove the axles to get those off and replace them. I had forgotten why I just cut my rusted plates off. You would have to open the diff, remove the pinion lock bolt, remove the pinion shaft, slide the axle inwards and remove the C - clip. Sounds a whole lot easier than done. That's why I just cut mine off and said to hell with it. Not worth the trouble or possibility to screw something up to me.

In the rear axle, use 80w90 or 75w90 if synthetic.
