Sure, I will update it with the CV forks and try to find some applicable pics of them in action. I agree that I didn't use the most optimized tools for the job, and I now know there are better ways to do things, but its certainly not worth throwing the whole thing out over.

I'll keep the part about the seal damage, and I didn't see any damage to the differential housing after you commented on the original post. Making a mistake is an important part of learning for me, and thats why I specifically made a section on the mistakes I made. Others can see how I messed up and learn from me. If it took 2 $15 seals for me to grow as a home mechanic, then I'm not going to loose sleep over that. Its been about 3000 miles since I did that repair, and there are no leaks.
