I think he's fine as long as the axles are sitting solidly on the jack stands and a rear axle is chocked. As much as I hate doing that on my daily drivers, I have to jack up the front end to get an oil pan and myself to fit down there. At least he has the luxury of a concrete floor!

Now on to the rears! So I’ve taken one of the rear hubs off so far and boy was it time! It’s been a long time since anyone has looked in there. No cork gasket or gear oil resistant RTV in the spindle key way. Will be doing the full service on all four rears and while I’m in there replace all the wheel cylinders. This is my therapy It totally relaxes me when I’m able to just take my time, learn and go through everything!

If no sealer sealent found in keyway and the brakes are that clean it could mean there is no oil in the axle?Now on to the rears! So I’ve taken one of the rear hubs off so far and boy was it time!

Wow looking at those pics I’m surprised at how clean mine is in there. All of the wheel bearing grease in the hub has pretty much been washed out by axle grease. Surprisingly the axel grease never made it past the inner wheel bearing, but luckily everything still looks good in there. I did change all of the fluids when I first got the truck, grease came out and new grease went into the diffs.
