So I noticed moisture inside of my rear end while changing pinion seal, so drained it...a freaking QUART of water came out, followed by some lovely sludge...pulled the absolutely monstrous centre section out, (used trans jack, saved back!) and there's some pitting on a few of the crown and pinion teeth, from rust. Would it be a bad idea to clean it all up, put new bearings in, and run it that way? Will rear end self destruct? This car may see 3000 miles a year if she's lucky.
