Well, I’ve chalked it up to driver error on what originally happened. Should be dropping off the gear set, third member and bearings here in an hour or so. Housing is all cleaned out.
One axle bearing upon closer inspection is able to slide in and out of the retaining plate a considerable amount. So it’s basically getting all new stuff in the rear end, and it’ll get a good bit of break in miles before it sees any sort of heavy throttle
