how do you break in front axle gears

[Kain]

I am just watching breaking in rear gears, but how do you break in front gears? Is it the same?

Be dumb like me and drive around with the front hubs locked at 60mph.

Actually I've long pondered this question so be curious to see what the answers are.

Do you really expect long high heat intervals in a front axle? Or is it a low speed short interval use?
Do the exact same you would for a rear if it is a loaded gear set driving the vehicle.
If its a rock crawler you install them the friday night with a full throttle assault the next morning.

Heat cycle. Drive it in 4wd for a short time. Heat up the gears.
Unlock let them cool down. Do it again. 2 or 3x.

When I was thinking about this question doing a few short heat cycles was all I could think of too.
