<VV> FC Axle Splines

[shortle]

Hey Dale, 
It's also hard for me to fathom not putting something (anti seize is my drug of choice) on these splines. I always envision the next guy having to deal with this and what he might have to do. I prefer not to use a blue tip (heat wrench) on car parts, especially discontinued, hard to find, vintage stuff.
