Big Greasy Brake Question
I found similar damage to some and more severe to others. I chose to replace ALL bearings and races. I also replaced ALL wheel cylinders. If I'm gonna go down this far I might as well. Regarding the slightly bent pins, I have the same thing. Shouldn't be an issue.- bigmike

Big Greasy Brake Question
I thought the same thing but I spoke to a couple of mechanics and a bendix brakes engineer and they told me basically the same thing. You are leaching out the oil...nothing more.- bigmike

Big Greasy Brake Question
My brake shoes with the leaks were pretty oily. I soaked them in mineral spirits for about 4 days. It leached the oil out of the pads...seem to be fine now. I started using brake cleaner but I kept getting oil out of the shoes. The soaking seemed to do the trick...didn't harm anything either.- bigmike

Big Greasy Brake Question
I re-built both rear axles including bearings, cups etc. It was very straight forward. Search the forum and you will find ALL the info you need. Bunkerofdoom.com has a nice set of instructions and pics. Good luck,- bigmike
