Default What next? (Video) gears

Hey guys my rear end has begun making noises. It started with a clank while braking. Now it's constant. Pulled the cover the gears seemed ok. Found shavings in pumpkin and here's the vid. It's definitely the spider gears??

Looks like the spiders are worn, that could very well be the sound of clanking.

However:

Grease the slip yoke on the rear driveshaft as that can cause clanking as well

Make sure the auto adjustors on the rear drums are working well (this is why mine clanks but I ignore it)

Not clanking anywhere but there and it's not as much clanking but a constant clicking.

It's in the differential! The driveshaft or no unjoint is spinning. It's the spider gears. If I could upload the video you could see that but I don't know how to get the video up. I tried but it won't. The jeep is on jack stands. Axles in. Jeep in park. You spin the axle and what do I hear from the spider gears while looking at it?? Click click click
