    Is this going to be a problem for me on my bevel gear?

    Just opened up the rear diff, put in some new silicone diff oil (30k), and noticed some damage on the teeth of the bevel gear. Is this something that needs to be replaced ASAP? What is the likely cause of this damage?

    How much diff grease?

    Last weekend my seal on the bottom of my rear diff was compromised so now I'm going to change out all the grease. My question is, how much grease do I put in? How do I know when enough is enough? Is it possible to have too much?
