JPOR: Axle damage total

[John Nutter <jnutter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I tore down the rear end tonight, except for leaving the ring and pinion
still in the housing. With the housing off the Jeep it's more obvious
that it's bent. I am guessing that the locker is probably OK. The
drivers side shaft was also twisted at the splines, nearly as much as
the one jefe bent in Moab this year. it wasn't bent much, if any though.
The passenger axle had only the slightest twist. The ring and pinion
still look good and there was no noticable metal in the gear lube, so
they will be re-used.
