Cleaned the front axle. Going to get a couple in. lb. dial torque wrenches before I start rebuilding it so I can measure the pinion torque to turn before I disassemble it. I did remove the case bushings in the meantime.

Also removed all bushings from the upper and lower control arms. Next, going to sand/grind them down to bare metal, then re-install bushings, and then prime and paint. I think that's the best method. If I paint before installing bushings, I'll end up marring the paint when installing the bushings. (Still have to remove the upper control arm ball joints.)
