OK.. the original post within a post did not carry into this..
The part which says " rebuilding the right " bothers me...... In forty years of doing stuff myself and reading the instructions and questioning older mechanics I have never seen any indication that it is ok to do anything to ONE SIDE of an axle... everything is both fronts or both backs , etc...never just one or never split lengthwise on the car.. like both right anythings..
It is your car and you can do anything you want with it... I am just posting this for ' our readership'...
It is not just the 123 manual which says not to split them and then put your life and others on the line by using them afterwards... you might get it perfect and it last forever... but many times these warnings come from something like a factory jig being needed to get them put together correctly.. and I do not want brakes systems done anything except totally correct...
