Unpleasant surprise
So I went to change the brake shoes on the passenger side rear, and I took the drum off to discover axle grease everywhere. What kind of oil do I need for the rear end? Also I'm going to need limited slip additive too right? Can you just get that at Advance?

Axle grease? Where the hell did that come from... the only fluids that you should ever see in that area are gear lube or brake fluid!!! I think you meant to say gear lube.

Actually I didn't mean to say gear lube...Why the hell would there be gear lube in my brake drums?? Hello? LOL...I need the gear lube because I need to refill the carrier after I pull my axles to redo the bearings and seals...the seals are why there is GREASE in my drum. But thanks anyway for trying to make me look like an idiot.
