So, for the pinion just dead blow it out?
I got this from a salvage yard from a iX with 94,xxx miles. but some idiot removed the cover and left it off. That's why there are small rocks inside.
VC works. In order to better clean it, can I take down the LSD or should I leave it alone?[/SIGPIC]"we are so totally screwed!"

if there's crap inside I'd want to clean it out. it means you have to redo the pinion crush sleeve. make sure you mark the hex nut before you remove it - that way you can put it back to the same depth as it was before (might want to do a search on this first).
I made the mistake on one of my diffs of taking it completely apart before I realized I could have marked the nut before I removed it..

for your purposes, i would not remove the pinion if i were you. i would just clean it really good, replace the seals and put it back together.sigpic

I think in neutral if you jack up one side of the car, you should be able to turn a rear wheel and it should be stiff.
I think mine is done because of the way the car reacts under throttle, it doesn't throttle steer as it used to and over rough surfaces I can't put power down. but it has 250k+ on it..
new ones are in the ballpark of $500.

Car must be in gear with the front wheels on the ground. Then try turning one of the rear wheels, it will be very stiff and will slowly (very slowly) rotate the opposite wheel is the opposite direction.
If dead if will just spin the opposite wheel with no resistance.[/SIGPIC]"we are so totally screwed!"
