Sweeks, superb post, thank you. While you had it apart, you didn't think there was merit to also putting grease on the gears and roller bearings? Also, after draining entire assembly, no extra gear lube into what I've heard called the "oil void" in the casing before reassembly? (I can see the oil staying there when the bike is vertical, but might leak out when layed down and when reassembling the hub with the axle vertical.) Gear lube is... well... gear lube, I just wonder if flung off over time and not in an oil bath (and not greased), if there needs to be a small amount to drip back on the gears. However, I have 75W-90 gear lube and you use a higher viscosity 75W-140, so perhaps it clings to the gears better. Thanks.
