ECO hub install.. Turned into CTIS and bearing seals.. Turned into brakes....

What a surprise I found.

Looking like Private Parts skipped the LO chapter!? :oops:

Whats the best source for components? Lots of broken springs...
Rust everywhere... Whats the best way to determine if the 'guts' of the canister are still good?

I'm shocked it still stopped.. The plungers were frozen.. i had to PBblast and wiggle out with slip joint pliers. The adjustable ones had to be encouraged out with a drift and hammer.

Oh my…..that looks horrible. Unfortunately I don’t have any experience with these. I can only say clean and remove all the rust and crud. Then start evaluating each piece.

Holy crap! That's much worse than what I've pulled apart so far (not done with all wheels yet) on my 2008. But all my seals were trash and I was beginning to have similar issues creeping in.
