I mentioned that someone had painted / epoxied that carrier that I pulled to get to the inner axle seal right? It cleans off easy enough in the parts washer but as I was wire brushing that stuff off, I noticed this pitting on the carrier bearings. Im guessing that the pinion is gonna be in the same condition.
With every bolt that I pull off of this axle, I hear that guy from Happy Gillmore popping up saying "jackass"!
I think it's approaching D60 money now. Im almost thinking about a locker now just so I don't have to mess with this carrier but that would be like throwing diamonds into a flushing toilet.
