hey
recently grenaded my dana 30 carrier bearing which resulted in a locking up of the front diff, so i removed the diff cover and pulled the inner shafts out. when i pulled the diff cover i found out why my bearing blew.
apparently my pinion seal was shot, but it never leaked because there was no diff fluid in the diff. the previous owner had some fun in the mud too, because the whole diff was full of it. it was totally my fault tho for not checking/ changing the fluid. im a dumbass
i tried to use brake cleaner, but it didnt help so i pressure washed it for about 5 mins and still never got it all the way clean.
i am re-gearing on sept 19 and i want to know what i should do to get this axle ready to go to the shop. (the axle tubes were nasty, too)
