stripping the diff down was easier then i thought , but took alot of hard work to get it cleaned up and in the end i had the rusty bits sand blasted safely to avoid sand entering the diff housing its self .then painted it with hammerite primer and black hammered finish paint with a brush[frame]

Why not a closed bearing?
All bearings are on the market with different types of covers for the rollers.
You can get it with black rubber, and also with a stainless steel cover.
