Re: Eaton HO52 SWAP???
Is your HO52 broke? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Unless your axle needs repair, you have no reason to believe it will. There are plenty of used parts from all the axles that get pulled for a swap. Bearings and seals are available, so if you are concerned about the age and durability, replace all those and prevent any ring & pinion issues. Brakes? Maybe not available, haven't tried lately. Buy last time I did brakes I was able to get everything from NAPA. If not, isn't the trend to go to disc brakes anyway?
