Painted on the white grease (too much, TBH) to check the pattern after zapping down the yoke and setting the pinion pre-load.

Here’s the diff while checking the pattern on the gears. Looks good… just gotta chase the threads to get the last of the funk out of the threads. It’s almost all back together.

Yesterday, got the axle ends ‘blasted and painted. Just gotta press on the bearing and stuff ’em back in now (and installing a new wheel stud in the on on the right that the previous owner snapped off).

Here’s the axle housing and diff after chasing all the threads for funk and new paint. Just gotta get it back together now and back under the car.
