I've been back to the diff and re-looked at the Sun gear and the housing
the sun gear is scrap!
but i can use the opposite gear edge to clean up the face on the casing
I am using it like a large valve grinding tool with some grinding paste,
the face of the casing is cleaning up real well,
it looks as if the sun gear is softer than the casing
I suspect heat at some-point has destroyed the case hardening on the sun gear wearing it away
