Every time that I separated the splines (including after the shaft failed) there was plenty of clean wet grease.
The failure was definitely not from lack of lube. I usually lube every 3,000 miles (my rear tire life), but sometimes have stretched to 5,000 miles when I have switched rear wheel and tire before a long trip. That is still a shorter interval than most.
so why go to the trouble of pulling the shaft more often than necessary and risking damaging the other splines.
