Default is there a "how-to" to fix rearend "ticking"

I know this has been discussed a MILLION times, about what it could be and what not, but I have an 03 Z with the usual rearend Tick...it only happens when you first pull out or start to back up, and it aounds like a really loud salt shaker, kind of. Anyway...I know some people say its something with the axles needing greased, and that Nissan sells a kit, does anyone have the part number for that kit, and maybe a "how-to" of the repair. If there isnt a "how-to" I'll write one when I fix mine, I just need that part number.

I used to have it saved...but now I cant find it, I tried searching...before I get slammed for that.
