Yeah I think I going to replace the pin and spiders. It looks like the inside of the spider gear is a little gauled up also. Should I be running a friction modifier with the Lucas? The label says no additives needed.Wear, time, abuse. If you think about what that pin actually does it gets alot of stress put on it. If there are no shavings in the bottom of the housing and the slot were the pin goes looks ok get a new pin and retaining bolt and put it back together.
Bolt was in there tight.Was the green lock bolt still there? If it backed out, that could have caused it too.

Are we talking about the same bolt? If you are refering to the bolt that goes through the end of the pin, then it was undamaged.Sounds like the bolt was in there tight, but broken. The axles only spin against two, opposite sides of the pin, not all the way around it.
Whats the scoop with the F150 spring? What does it do?Throw an F150 spring in there too while you are at at.
They are very tight and sometimes a PITA to get that spring in. I use a big hose clamp to tighten it down and then after install I cut the clamp. Makes the install much easier.
Is that rust all in the gears?
