Hey all,
So I'm soon going to prop the ranger up and address multiple basic things in axles/wheels. If anybody has some pointers on parts selection, and what else should be replaced while I'm in there, that would be great! Mostly I'm just heading into the unknown regarding tiny pieces that you don't discover should be replaced until you open it all up, like little clips or springs or other bits that are a no brainer to make fresh...

1. Firstly, the front bearings and shoes and seals and rotors, and this is where i have the most questions. Does this list look correct? Left seal is different than right, and also there are TWO bearings for each side? Inner and outer for each wheel?
Front Left Seal: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1118675&cc=1137642&pt=1860&jsn=21285
Front Right Seal: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=1572292&cc=1137642&pt=1860&jsn=21286

2. I'm doing the rear axle shaft seals because my rear left is leaking gear oil on the drum. Also will put new bearings in since it'll be all opened up.
3. I'm replacing the E-brake cables and struts. I've currently got no E brake and it's looking seized. This is high priority for me because it will be a while before i have total confidence in the whole braking system.
4. Since the leak will be fixed, I can install new brake shoes in rear.
