@aljollano came by to help. He said everything else looked fine what what he saw. But I will post up pictures to confirm.
I already bought flanges from @cruiseroutfit. The normal stock ones. So I would need to buy Part# FAXTBIRFFJ80 from Cruiser Outfitters
If you don't want the old flanges, I'll take them. I want to see if they'll fit my 100. I've always wanted a set with worn/no splines to use for a broken CV field repair.
His flanges are very worn and the spindles will need to be replaced if he can't clean them completely.

The 100 stud diameter and pattern is different fwiw
That's what I figured.
If you can clean up the splines on the end of your axle and post some pictures of what they look like we could get a better idea. From what I can see in your short clip is severely worn down splines from grinding against the blown drive flange. I could be 100% wrong and that's just grease or metal dust packed off between the splines. A new flange used with axle splines that are badly worn will result in another ruined flange due to sloppy play or if you get caught up in a high torque situation will cause the axle to slip/spin out.
Use Moly Grease with a minimum 2% content rating for repacking the CVs and a good quality wheel bearing grease for the wheel bearings.
Oh! And like Travis 76 said, make sure to have lots of rags, brake cleaner, solvent and more rags to clean up all the parts. It's by far the messiest job I've ever done.

Update. I think I do need a new spindle. I am not sure about the spline. Ill let you guys make that judgement call.
The grease was leaking out through the holes. I think the inner axle seal is compromised.

Inner axel seal is worn?

Back plate rust is concerning.
Eeek!
Definitely time for new birfs, new spindles, and new inner axle seal. They are all toast.
I wouldn't even keep the birfs as trail spares in that state.
I'd strongly suggest using post '94 birf and drive flanges.

The problem is that I already bought the flanges of this year. I really dont want to buy more parts.
@cruiseroutfit
Is it Part# FAXTBIRFFJ80 - $225.00/each
or Part# FAXTBIRFFJ80HDKIT - $765/kit
and
FA35010 or FA35010MA
Spindle:
Part# FA60080
Do I need to bushing?
Is returning them an option?
The newer ones are a better option, but I guess in reality, depending on your use, the older style ones with new birfs are likely good for another 25years
