I got the axle assembly mostly put back together yesterday. I took it to my place of work. Spent pretty much the whole day there getting it cleaned up and putting it together. For whatever reason I have one seal that I couldn't get back in (ironically the one for the shaft on the drivers side) so probably deal with that tomorrow.

With this thing out, is there anything else that I should do besides the o-ring for the oil pick up tube before it goes back in?

@Rocket Man no, my dad and I took it over to a guys place last weekend to see if he could help get it apart after we pulled it and split the case. He had a bearing spreader on there loaded up pretty good but the cir clip wouldn't let go. The flange on the shaft ended up breaking so we ended up torching the flange off and up pretty much disassembling the entire thing. From there the shaft was able to be pushed out with a press.

Well I'd have rather spent Thanksgiving weekend doing other things besides working on the Tahoe but here we are

Super productive day yesterday. Got the engine oil pan dropped and changed the pickup tube o-ring. Got the pan put back in with a fresh gasket. Dad helped me get the axle assembly back up there then got most of the front end back together.

This morning finished getting things back together and took a torque wrench to a few things. Got the engine and axle filled with oil and went for a drive. Things seem good. Now on to other things.
