Dreaded clunk when turning

Brake cleaner and rags. 5 cans. Well ventilated area and a catch pan under diff. Once you have rinsed all the oil out the filings are easier to get out with a magnet and compressed air.
I prefer to pull the carrier out so i can get at pinion area better to clean it. But it will require setup if you pull it. i have my 8.25 gutted right now and cleaned it up. Was just dirty though.
