Sorry Carl, I was actually agreeing with the other guy, I think it's there just to hold in place. Grease or not if the friction of plate on diff outdrive wasn't more than that of against 12 smooth balls (so slipped) something would be seriously wrong.
I always assumed the recess was just for lightening it.
I've no factual basis for this of course, just what I had assumed.
