i Just finished rebuilding the my front axle(all new bearings, seals, gaskets)
and just felt like commenting that it must be up there as one of the cuckest tasks you could possibly get yourself into
when working on a car. stoked that my axle is now glistening but damn, you even feel dirty with all the grease when you
put it all together, let alone stripping it. guess its so rewarding that everyone seems happy once they are done.

Re: rebuilding solid front axle
I know the feeling all to well but it is worth it and you get to know the workings of everything so that when something goes wrong you know what it could be and what to get. Luckely I don't think that anyone would need to do that on my SFA ever again.....
