They are just paper gaskets. pull, clean, make gaskets and reassemble

reckon i should do the other side as well - anything else that would be recommended preventative maintenance? like something with the CVs? my boots look okay, but if it's going on a lift, i'd like to be smart about it...

thanks, russell!

All that has to come apart for this service. Repack front wheel bearings, check steering pieces, repair or replace the rubber support under the diff, etc.
