When I put my new inner axles in I plan on changing the gear oil to a full synthetic. Before I button it back up and fill it with the new oil how should I clean it out besides draining it? Brake clean? Is there any thing else I should do or check while I have it pulled apart? Bearings or seals? Right now I have no problem with my posi slipping, no noise, no leaks. I am hoping I can just swap the axles out and be done with it with out more time and cost. But if there is something I should do while I have it all apart I want it done right.

Thanks guys
