Was able to get back at this yesterday. It's out. Now I need to clean it up. I'll have Pop take a look at it this weekend, he has seen a few of these in his days. These photos show it still in the housing, I wanted to spray off more of the crud before I removed it. Once I pulled the axle shafts out, and rotated the pinion, I could then spray off the rust. Most of it came off, these photos are before spraying the assembly with brake-kleen. This unit looks okay to me, but I don't know exactly what to look for. The bearings seem to be in good condition, not much play or backlash.
