I did search and found someone asked my first question but the thread got hi-jacked and never answered. So here it is again.
Are the carrier bearings on a 30 spline super 30 ARB the same bearings that will come in a D30 overhaul kit?
Also,
Last weekend I was wheeling in same deep mud/water and was stuck in one hole for a while. When I got to the end of the trail it was the end of the day so as always I went to pull the front drive shaft for the ride home. I always pull the front shaft to cut down on vibes from a not so favorable pinion angle. When I was under there I noticed that the front pinion seal was leaking. The next day I pulled the cover and found that there was water in the oil so I cleaned it all up good and put in some new oil but I found a good amount of play in the pinion bearings. It makes a noticeable humming noise when I drive it around the block, but the pinion stayed dry. Now, will I do any damage by driving it even without the front shaft? It wouldn't be long or high speed rides. Nobody around me has the bearings and I wont be able to replace them til mid week. This is my DD so I'm kind of stuck.
