The differential went back together really well and it looks great. New seals for the side yokes were installed to cure the one that was leaking a bit along with new dust shields for the side yokes.
It was tempting to remove the pinion yoke to install a new seal along with a new dust shield for aesthetics. The pinion seal isn't leaking, but it seemed like a good idea with all of this out and on the bench. Reading the incredibly complicated procedure for reinstalling the pinion yoke with the special tool that is required made this seem like a really bad idea.
If ever this starts to leak, this job will be tackled then. As for now, it's a sleeping dog best left alone.
