<VV> FC Axle Splines

 Essentially none. But for the record, this isn't a true press fit, in that the splines are never free of backlash. You can also use Never Seez. 
But, make SURE the bolt is locked, as that back and forth can loosen it.

For a few years now I've been wondering what harm there would be in adding some 
grease to the splines (after thoroughly cleaning them) when they start to "work" 
in what is supposed to be a press-fit situation.  I can see the bright red rust 
that shows me the splines are shifting and wearing against one another so the 
press fit is no longer there.  The bolt keeps the two parts captive so what 
would be the down side to a little grease to reduce the spline wear?
