Default Rear Axle Seal

When installing new rear axle seals, do you coat the rubber with grease? If so, what do you use? Just a general grease, white lithium, etc?

Yes. Either.
Just be careful not to drag the axle on the seal while installing.

Any oil or grease. You just dont want it "dry". Be careful installing. If you are too rough, you could knock the spring off the seal. Nice and easy and keep the weight of the axle off the seal.
