Disassemble the entire rearend and inspect all parts for damage and wear. I purchased a new ring and pinion gear set and overhaul package from "Randy's Ring and Pinion" and it was a very complete overhaul kit. It even came with gear marking compound and Locktite. Now's the time to clean all parts that are to be reused.
