I think you can buy them out of LMC.... they sell Spicer rear end parts. I get them from a local Drivetrain shop in town. But of course, I only had to buy them because of my custom driveshaft my old spicers were still tight.

I am not sure about that. I thought the grease is what kept the moisture out.
How strong are they?

The greasable vs. non-greasable is debatable. Sealed definintly keeps moisture and dirt out BUT if it gets in then it eats itself up.
Greaseable is good IF you keep it greased all the time. If you were 4-wheeling and crossing creeks I would want greasable so I could go home and regrease them to get water and dirt out IMO.
I've got greaseable on my f150 and non greasable on my f100. So, we'll see which one lasts longer in time

Center carrier bear on the drive shaft, just changed mine had to use a die grinder to get old bearing off! When you go to reinstall don't just hammer on you have to line up the bolt holes it can go on too far and then you cant get it to move back!
