I recently installed my DSS Pro Axles (1200HP rated) and took my Z to the track and ran it with 27x10.5x15 M/T ET streets. After I came back home I started hear a clicking noise from the rear hear is a Pic just cuz my bolt dosent have a cotter pin on it it's got only bent edges into the hole is there something wrong with that?

ugh...if it's not one thing it's another....
I beat on my car frequently...
with that said I'm now at 30,000 miles...
after a night of driving...the next day I proceed to go to the store...
and low and behold a faint clicking, and when I give it gas it becomes a grind metal on metal...
unsure of what it is I'm in this thread...

You do not have to remove the whole axle to do this fix.
Remove the axle nut. Then from underneath you can pull carefully on the rubber boot (behind the rotor) and the axle will slide inboard, allowing access to the splined part. Get a throw away brush and work the grease in. It's a bit tight but very do-able.

I call BULL (no disrespect). I had undone my axle from the pumpkin and undone the hub bolt and could not get my axle out. I did this without looking at the TSB yesterday.
At the time I though the axle was connected to the Spindle so I wasnt going to hammer it for fear of breaking it. Mine has gone on for a while about a month and its a bad metal on metal grind now. I don't think it will easily slide out in similar cases.

Yes it can be done. The end of the axle will push in about half way through the hub. The clearance is kinda tight but I was able to grease the spindle base with an acid brush. Or you can use a tongue depressor or popsicle stick. Once you get the axle nut off, push the axle in and you will be able to see the clearance I'm talking about.

I can imagine it can get stuck. I started w the passenger side and removed the entire axle from the car. I couldn't brake a few of the nuts on the driver side axle to pumpkin connection. So I was playing around and was easily able to slide the terminal end of the axle inboard enough to reach said area. I would say there was an inch or two of play to work through.
I'll gladly post pics as I want to re-grease w some waterproof marine stuff I have......

Clicking Noise
Does anyone know if it has to be a specific grease that is being applied to the axle. Someone told me it has to be Mylokote M77 but I haven't been able to verify it. Please help!
