Nothing worse than leaving a big grease stain behind you..so i got a new gasket for my 9" rearend...it will be my first major adventure on my EB..should I just replace the gasket and oil or should i bite the bullet and rebuild the whole the thing from axle to axle (excluding the thrid member). I am happy with the gearing and it is the original A3 rear axle.

Re: my rearend leaks
Good time to put new bearings on the rear axle shafts. Be sure to check the u-joints on the driveshaft also since you'll be down there banging your head under it

Re: my rearend leaks
Big bearing bulges out at the brake backing plate, about an inch wide bulge. The small bearing does not.
