Looks like I may have roasted one of the bearings in my front diff. The seal is sligtly displaced and the diff is vibrating and making noise under load, but I digress... Since I need to pull the diff, is there any other maintenance you guys might recommend while I've got everything apart? I've got about 3000K (lots of mud and water) on this grizz and am not sure if I should be looking at servicing things like CV joints and wheel bearings. Do you guys ever bother regreasing your CV joints anytime other than when the boots need replacing?

I've never done anything quite this invasive before and am a little gun shy. If I can, I'd like to avoid removing the steering knuckles and am wondering if you guys had any success at pulling your diff with the axles still connected to the hubs?
