I bought a "rebuilt" model A rear end last year from someone who bought it at an estate sale. It looks to be in really good shape. Missing a speedo housing and emergency brake bands. It turns freely by hand and the axels are tight (no slop or wiggle) My question is the pumpkin housing didn't have any oil in it that I can tell so I'd like to flush it out to make sure there's no crud in it before I button everything up and put it back under my truck. Anything in particular I should use to flush it out?
