Well let's see if I can put this one back together in the right order.

There was virtually no sludge inside the shaft. You can tell that there is more wear on the bottom of the shaft than on the top like you said, but there's nothing that you can catch your fingernail on.

Hey when I put this back together, do I need to assemble it with clean oil or just put it together dry and then oil it when it's back on the truck?
