Hello all, I am getting ready for my next big project on my 82' 300D.

I am replacing the rear rotors, pads, and brake lines. Additionally, I just noticed that all 4 of my axle boots are cracked, but not split open yet. ALSO (ha), I just used my IR thermometer after a short drive, and the rear passenger rotor was 130 degrees hotter than the other 3, so I'm guessing that caliper is probably freezing.

Soooo:

-Since, I am replacing 1 caliper, I should probably replace the other right?

-Any benefit to re-booting the axles over just replacing the entire axle? Besides price.

-Are 'DSS' axles any good? They aren't expensive.

-Any tips or tools that will make this job easier?

-Anything else to do, while I'm at it?

Thanks a lot!
