[QUOTE="SirDoopYJ, post: 428009, member: 19139"] It is pretty dirty down the tubes of the axles, but looks pretty clean beyond the seal. The passenger side inner axle shaft came out pretty clean as well. I accidently hit the top of the tube with the driver side inner axle when pulling it out, so I wiped off as much grit as I could off the gears. I didn't really bother cleaning in the tubes, I figured why, if later down the road I may do an inevitable axle swap. One concerning issue with the brakes. As I was removing the bolts for the caliper, the brake line was in the way for my wrench to get to. I moved the line just a tad out the way to remove the bolt. I noticed that when I had it hanging on a strap out of the way, it was dripping when the line starts at the bolt on the caliper. It may have dripped 5+ times before I noticed. I moved the line back the opposite way to tighten it back up. I may have to torque the bolt some, but the leak stopped. Will this create an air bubble in the braking system to where it is not as effective in braking? [/QUOTE]
