Rear brake shoe replacement.
My drivers side inner rear axle seal was leaking and soaked my brake shoes with gear oil. I replaced the inner/outter seals and wheel bearing and was wondering if I have to replace the brake shoes on both rear wheels or if I could do just the drivers side that was contaminated. My passenger side shoes have plenty of life left. Thank for you help!

While you probably could, I wouldn't. I believe in trying to keep both side as equal as possible. It would probably be a good idea to have a look at the seals on the other side, too. If one side was gone, then the other probably isn't far behind.
The other part is that I have never seen a single set of shoes for sale at any reputable location.

Yep....they always come in a set brand new. No other way. And besides, you'll need a core. You do where I go, anyway.

Thanks for the info guys! I figured that since I have the drums off anyways I'll get them turned and put in new wheel cylinders too. That rear inner seal is a real PITA to get seated properly!
