    I see guys are using a different weight diff oil after the ecgs bushing install? 115 85 or something like that? Will 75 90 be ok?

    It's definitely the needle bearing. As far as seal goes, if it's not leaking, I wouldn't replace it. I decided to proactively replace both seals when rebuilding my CVs, and what a nightmare. It took three different seals until I got it installed properly and it not leaking. They are extremely sensitive and have to be installed at the exact right depth. I kept putting them in a hair too deep, and it'd leak. Would have to rip out the seal and install a new one. That's my 2 cents on the matter.

    I dont think you need to change gear oil after the needle bearing swap (but make sure to top it off, as some will come out during the work) . When you get new gears, then ECGS recommends the heavier gear oil 85/140
