Ok, Another Question, Front Axel

Posted by Will (in MI) on Saturday, August 13, 2005 at 8:32PM :

I know it's sumer and I should be out enjoying the truck,s but when neither of them run, you spend all your time working on one to get it going. As such, having the M already tore apart when I broke the PW, it's the one getting the attention.

I've pulled the front flange assemblies apart and pilled the axles. I've got one mostly cleaned and ready to start cleaning the other.

I'm planning on replacing all the seals, races, bearings, bushings and gaskets, but have noticed that the axle tubes are loaded with grease that must have made it past the axle seals.

Should I be concerned about cleaning it out? there doesn't seem to be any crud, or other foreign materials, gust oily grease.

Anything else I should look/watch for?

Thanks,
Will
