Yes I basically cleaned the whole setup in an out. BOTH sides of the wheel hub and splines, plus the splines and flange on the axle itself. One of the axles had some black grime in the splines so I wire brushed it to clean metal first.

Not sure if this matters or not...the only thing I am thinking about is the oem washer that goes on before the axle nut. I noticed the washers on both sides were not flat, like the hub deformed them. So when I put everything back on each side, the washers were put so they looked like this on the hub []> if that makes sense. To kinda act as like a lock washer that gets crushed and holds the nut. Based on the wear stains on the washers, I think I flipped the washers the opposite way of how they were before I took them off. I don't remember how the washers were on my G35 when I did this year ago with that car.
