That's it for the axle( You can pull the Residual pressure valve out of the front reservoir of the master and call that good too!) anything beyond that (for the axle) is an unnecessary exercise IMHO.
My two cents, worth the price paid!  |
Hey, I have a 1970 GMC K20 that I’m just about to swap out the rear end for a newer GM 10 bolt Corporate rear end with disc brakes. I’’m looking for a newer front axle to swap out the “aardvark” axle out, and if I’m reading this correctly, I don’t have to replace the brake booster and cylinder?? Is that correct?
Thank you for any reply, I realize this is a pretty old post
