I recommend leaving them alone for now. I'm sure you have plenty of other things to check or rebuild, but I'd spend the time and money on something else (instead of the hubs), like putting good synthetic gear oil in the axles/hubs.

Realistically, there isn't much wear to account for. Our trucks aren't driven enough, or hard enough. So it's not similar to videos of people checking the slop on the ring and pinion of an axle with 100,000 miles on it. So "just setting them up the same as before" isn't a bad option, if you...

They look like LMTV axles, or very close relatives. I think what he was saying was they came off an LMTV, hub gearing was removed, and were destined for a truck that weighed 1/2 as much as an LMTV. If you weld the planets, you put all the torque directly on the axle shafts, and they were only...

Why don't you go look at the manuals' diagrams, or watch a YouTube video about these axles? This really isn't a great idea, under all but the most unusual of circumstances.

There should be nothing inside it. It's just a block that connects the splines of the shaft, to the hub flange. That's what you're asking about doing, right?

This, and it reduces the forces in the axles (e.g. reducing the diameter of axle shafts needed, etc.).

I listened to your video a couple times, and I'm not sure if I can hear the gear whine or not. With all the other noises these trucks make (e.g. engine, turbo, fan, tires, etc.), it's hard enough in person unless the gears are really howling loudly. When I first got my truck, I read in the...

Not having seen the inside of the hubs in detail, what was difficult about cleaning them out? Are there lots of little crevices for it to get into?
