Morning guys.....while going through the rear brake's on the roadster. I discovered that the linings were completely gone....the grease seals are leaking and everything should be completely disassembled and cleaned and rebuilt.. My question is....I have another rear end that I bought from a reputable guy that has been rebuilt and has new brakes on it.the radius rods are on it and the have been blasted and powder coated.....would it be easier to change the rear end rather than disassembling the old one and replacing the brakes? I will also add that the drive shaft and torgue tube are still attached to the new rear end and that I would most likely use those as well. Can I install the rearend and dirive shaft as on unit.
Thanks e everyone.
