I left everything undisturbed, drained the oil and filled the housing with kerosene as a flush. I then rotated the assembly a dozen times from each side, drained it, and dried it out with a stream of air from a hair dryer directed into the fill hole. Then, with a light shined into the fill hole and a mini-borescope into the drain hole, I was able clearly see the condition of the ring and pinion as the assembly was rotated. A partial view of the axle teeth can also be made as well. Without a borescope, if you cock your head just so from the right side, you can see just the ring and pinion teeth.
