When I did the front brakes last years I did every new upfront, so now its time to do the rear.
I have a new hardware kit, Chevy sized wheel cylinders, new shoes, new flex line from chassis to rear all from NAPA. Never dealt with a full floating rear end so this is new territory for me. I have new axle seals, but in reading the Haynes manual it looks like there are tapered bearings on each side, should these be repacked or replaced? I plan on changing the diff fluid at the same time and having the drums turned (assuming they aren't all torn up for some reason).
Looks like I need to pick up a 2-9/16s axle socket, any other special tools?
Thanks
