That Valvoline looks like great stuff for this application and CV axles, ball joints or wheel bearings etc. The key word is that it is an extreme pressure lubricant.

Can anyone point me to a DIY article or a diagram for handling this task?

I've read the TSB. Its clear to me what parts to re-grease, but I'm not sure how to disassemble the rear-end. Does it need disassembled at all?

stupid metro infiniti needs to get an "authorization from their mechanics" before they can order out the part to start on my car..

since when did service advisors need to order parts before they can work on customers cars? my car is still under warranty.. worst dealership ever..

^^Definitely...paint, window motors, generic beige headliner and pillars and axles. Man, even the black paint on my new Civic is sweet.
