    Brakes soft after changeing both front and back.

    Two days ago I hear what sounded like metal on metal when stopping my truck. Today changed both front and rear brakes and found nothing to be metal on metal. But did find both rear cylinders leaking. Left just a little bit, and the right was soaking wet. Before changing I had what I call a...

    I have a 5 lug GQ1 GU4 axle with the front seal leaking. No noises from the axle at the moment and topped off the fluid, needed about 8 ounces. Are these hard to change and what is involved if I decide to do so?
