Q: do the axles need to come out of a 2007 aspen when doing the rear brake shoes?
I just installed a new rear end from a junk yard into the Aspen. The idiots sent it without the brake shoes (parking brake) and emergency brake cables cut to hell. Do the axles need to be removed to do the brake shoes? If I replace the axles, should I also replace the axle seals and pumpkin gasket? It;s a 2007 Chrysler Aspen
