Rear differential bearings

Ok I was pestering about lowering my 66 c10 and endlessly debating if I should buy a chassis from a 71 for a 5 lug conversion. Long story short I bought the chassis and just got done tearing the rear apart. Kind of disappointed in its condition but I suppose it could be worse. The only major issue is the passenger side backing plate is wasted and the outer bearing fell apart. I've replaced axle seals before but never any bearings. I did get the race in the tube out with a slide hammer but I think the ring gear and carrier should at least come out for a thorough cleaning. I know those main caps need a very specific torque but beyond that I'm looking for any advice so I dont end up destroying the whole thing. Thanks
