love the profile pic oz..
went well getting the center out.

Turned out that the gears are 3.08 not 3.55 which is a bonus.

The gears are not discolored and are in excellent condition.

all i have to do is get a socket big enough for the yoke and we are in business.

is it normal for the axels to be a bit crusty?

Thanks again oz for your help.
