Thanks Kent. So it sounds like the only way to address this issue is as stated before, to pull the axles and address the perch rivets from inside each axle housing? It's now leaking on both the left and right side. This seems like it would be a common issue on these old rear ends but I'm not finding much out there about it or how to best address it.
