1990 244 DL, referencing thread http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=1167440, in regards to what I thought was transmission whine, but was directed to the non-serviceable center drive shaft bearing as a culprit.

I just want to make sure I'm about to perform the correct operation - please correct me if I'm wrong! Also, step 3 has two options - which should I be picking?

1. Remove the center crossmember (the one behind the transmission crossmember).
2. Approaching from the back, peel back rubber donut.
3. Use a small pick to lift back plastic cover, and using LPS2 Industrial Lubricant or LPS3 Rust Inhibitor? (suggested by rstarkie), fill as much as possible with the plastic straw.
4. Tuck everything back together, using vinyl conditioner to lubricate the donut.
5. Remount center crossmember.
6. Torque everything.

Thanks in advance!

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can get Junior on the road!
