Installed new Ten factory axles and Black magic brakes reveres brake kit on the rear.  moves caliper to the front to help with more grip from parking brake and helps with space for stretch. 

Tear down went smooth, everything looked good, sanded rust and primed / paint.

Finished install now to adjust parking brake .... feels good to have a spare set of rear shafts to bring with when go wheeling.  Now i need some for the front

Just run some bent lines in and pump it a little while after you see no bubbles. Usually it's no big deal.
