Finally got my driveshafts apart, cleaned them up and am ready for paint or powder. Just not sure which to go with. Only trouble I ran into is the black plastic(?) washer on the one drive shaft broke when I was removing the shaft (photos below). Anyone know how I can get a new one on there? The one that was on there was not flexible, and therefore would not stretch over the spline section of the shaft to get it to where it needs to be. Not sure what to do, or how important that washer is.

Also cleaned the rear diff cover. Does anyone know if it would cause problems for powder coat the back/inside of the cover?
