Today, I did whatever @hosejockey61 & @machoheadgames told me to do.
The result is my pinion & carrier bearings are all now replaced, everything is buttoned up with a quart of oil loaded up to see if we leak overnight. I have a lot of experience with draining brand new oil due to a leak, so no we proceed with caution as a rule.
I think that is the last of the vital stuff to be done to daughter's 97, just in time for the good weather to start driving around. At which point we'll discover 5 new vital things.
