I have a left brake on a '45 B that hardly works, and I believe it is because the band has been soaked in oil from the tranmission. I intend to take the rear axle apart and not only replace the brake band, but also replace the seal that is on the transmission box if I don't mess something up in the process.
My question is should I just order the seal, or should I buy a new retainer, retainer shims, and bearing along with? I have never done this kind of replacement so I don't know what I am going to run in to when I start taking things apart (hopefully it all fits back together)!
