I ignored the advice to look in the front boot before dropping the back end and the rear did not want to drop easily. Soon figured out that it was the spline not disengaging that was the hold up. So a little encouragement got that fixed up.Nice. Thanks.

Here is a link to the pics I took to show the condition. I'll update this when I decide to go back out in the garage. There was a time when I lived to play mechanic. But that time is past, and I have little motivation these days. But I'll get back to this and update in a few days.

Quite an investment in parts, but looks great.
I'm not happy with the level of corrosion your macro lens is picking up.... I might need to take a peek before the big trips later this year.
So - intact snap ring up front, or not?
