Post #47 and # 48 of the trunnion bearing thread
This is apparently a hub of IH8mush, even your wacky professor at the University of Toyota, states that the Birfield can run in gear oil and be just fine
I would like to see the correct information of this subject, if this thread is closed or dealeted than I know we have problems here.

Then why bother putting a seal between the wheel bearings and the knuckle (hint: it's not "all one assembly")? Why does the factory put wheel bearing grease in the wheel bearings? Why does my factory service manual say to use moly-fortified grease in the wheel bearings and packed into the birfield?
Do what works for you - I'm going to trust the dudes that designed the parts.
