Yeah, I'm refering to bronze bearings or basically bushings

Gumpit, your pic is very helpful. I am about to pull my diff apart to re-pack the grease. Nice to see what is inside ahead of time.

Some are slightly different. Suggest taking pics as you go. Even the little things like where the washers go make a difference. But there aren't too many parts so it's not bad. Not like a transmission or anything. But it is important to open it,clean it,inspect it for wear and regrease.

Your differential looks like a Peerless. When I rebuilt mine I took loks of pictures.
Here is a diagram, I hope it helps.

The grease they call for is bentonite. Its a clay based grease that's really more of a heavy oil. I know many people use any grease without issue but the correct type is bentonite.

The bushings can be had from outdoordistributors. They are not cheap, about $30 each i think. Measure the case id and axle od. You should be able to find a bushing to fit from grainger or another company. That's what i did on my holton diff. Pushed them in with stud and bearing mount.
