So I got a full locker with axle housing and I'm wanting to get it really well cleaned up and do somewhat of a rebuild on it but not go fully overboard. I have confirmed it works through bench testing so I don't see a need to actually take apart the motor and replace the gaskets in there and grease and mess with the headache of having it all reclocked properly. I do however want to get things more thoroughly cleaned (and possibly repainted, the third has surface rust) and there's a lot of nooks around that motor. this would I assume necessitate replacing at least one seal on the pinion going to the locking fork rack. Does anyone know a part number for that? Also likely want to do the main seal for the third to the housing, seems like that one is straightforward. And of course I will redo the axle seals and double check that my already rebuilt axle/drums will match up properly to the replaced seals. Is this really even worth it since the locker seems to work just fine? I just figured I have at least a month till I get my aftermarket harness and I still need to get a front diff with matching gears. Should I just do the axle seals and send it? For context the donor does have 363k on it (guy got into a front end wreck with someone running a light fleeing cops).
