So I have a stuck driver's rear caliper on my truck, which has 137K on it. I put rear pads and rotors of somewhere around 100K. The caliper stuck, dragged, and cooked the pads and cracked the rotor.

Upon pulling the rear brakes apart I found two disturbing things.

1 - the passenger parking shoes were separated.

2 - the driver's side axle seal is leaking. I don't know if that's what caused the issue, or if the grossly overheated brakes warped or damaged the axle seal.

So I need to replace the axle seal on that side, but can't find any info on a SRW truck on the site. Am I looking in the wrong place? Is this an uncommon problem? Am I doing something wrong? Auto Zone doesn't stock the seals; btw, so I have to find somebody who has one.
