[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 425385, member: 18629"] It all started with a familiar (to some) clunking in the rear D35 differential. Long story longer... I found the D35 fluid level was slightly low so maybe the C-clips are banging a little louder then normal. The fluid just doesn't vaporize unless it's been many years or if there's a leak so the next step was to remove cover and change the fluid but also remove the brake drums, pull the axels, and change the outer seals. Well the rear brakes are shot. Maybe leaking around the axle seal although it was hard to tell because of all the dust, rust and mud. Anyhow along with new gear oil I also picked up new shoes, a hardware kit, had the drums turned, and I'll also add new seals and slave cylinders. Probably outer bearings too but I don't have the tool to pull them out. [/QUOTE]
