I just pulled the axles out of my Dana 44. The inside was packed full of mud and crud and I mean FULL.
I am replacing everything from gears, carrier, seals etc. I was planning on keeping the original axles as they seem in good shape with only a little surface rust.
My question is:
Should I remove everything and clean it out before I take it in to get everything installed (want to sandblast housing & other parts) or should I just leave it as is and let the rebuilder deal with the mess ?
Is it easier for the rebuilder to have the current 3.50 gears left in ?
Thanks
