Has anyone taken the initiative to actually take apart a rear differential and fix it themselves (mainly speaking to the out of warranty guys)?
It would seem that it is alot less costly (for those of us with the knowledge) to replace the bearings/races as needed, instead of paying for another differential. Only reason I'm asking is because my differential is starting to make noise (not bad, but a slight groan when turning and cold) and a slight pinion leak. I've got part numbers for all the seals, but I haven't been able to find anything for the bearings.
