Fixing it would mean a total overhaul Including bearings seals etc.

My quick estimate is $800

You can keep that 8.8 housing, get a 31 spline differential from an Explorer (I've seen them for $60 - $75 on eBay), then you can either use 2 drivers side spindles from an Exloperer or go buy some nice after-market ones from Strange, Moser, whomever.

Just a suggestion. [Smile]
