Any issue w/ swapping rear axle/hub/brakes from passgener to driver side?

Wondering if there's an issue running a rear axle assembly (hub, bearing, brakes) that was on the passenger side of the truck for quite some time, to the driver's side.

Had a stud break off when I pulled the axles and this is an option. Otherwise if it would cause issues turning the opposite direction that everything has turned for the past decade I do know of a local yard that has one.

Yes - the brakes have sides and the ebrake attachment won't be in the right place.

Not really - you'd have to press off the bearing, swap out the brake backing plate and all that jazz, then press it back together... for all that, just rebuild the proper one.
