The last time I had the wheel off, I inserted the flange
into the final drive a few times, paying attention to
getting the o-ring all the way seated. The two
parts seemed really well sealed together. It made me think
that maybe all that "blowby" stuff you always see when
you're changing tires might just be moly that was beyond
the o-ring during assembly.
Anyhow, I tried to be real careful not to get any moly outside
the closed part of the system when I put my wheel on last
time... I'll get a chance to look at it again in a few thousand miles...
Your splines look good!

Yep, probly just put a little to much on, witch is a lot better than not enough.  Like the shop talk and Daniel M. says, just do it correctly, every 10k, Splines do look good and can stay that way with alittle TLC. |

I believe the biggest cause of "blow by" is putting grease on the male part(flange) as the flange is pressed into the final drive the majority of that greas is simply pushed off and thats what you see slung around.
I put the majority of the grease inside the final drive and most of it at the opening, I dont try too hard to get it deep inside just evenly all the way around. That way as the flange goes in it pushes the grease inside the hub instead out outside.
Thats my story and Im sticking to it.
+1 on the Honda grease is no good, doesnt adhere and is not water resistant

I tried to get molly paste at honda. It wasn't in stock. They had to look it up, and said they could order it. I used Bel-ray. Hope I didn't use to much. Is there really any way the spline could not be in all the way? Seems to me 80 lbs on the axel bolt would pull it together.

No worries about it being in all the way, you're right once it's torqued it's together. The O-rings can get worn and let grease out and water in. Carolinabikeandtrike.com has packs of 5 sets for a reasonable price.
Also, be sure to torque the axle bolt and then the 4 bolts that hold the pumkin to the swing arm. They ahould already have been loose so you could check the grease on both ends of the drive shaft.

Correct John, I had the 4 bolts loose, maybe 1 turn. I didn't want to leave it to loose as I wanted to be able to close the gap from the pumpkin to swing arm. Couldn't get the torque wrench on these bolts, but years of wrenchin I can tell. I greased heavy both sides of the flange, female side of spline, axle. even a little on the pins. All new O rings dust seal. Hope I'm not cleaning grease off of everything all summer.
