Do either of those keep parking brake and ABS? Are there any brakes that keep these and fit inside a 15" prostar?

Should only cost you ~ 5-10.00 per axle to have someone press the bearings for you if you do not have the ability to press them off. You may be able to cut the bracket though its less work to pull the bearings.

They won't damage them if they know what they are doing. It's very simple to pull the axles with c-clip eliminators.

We have both the conversion braided brake line kits you'll need, we can also help you with the brakes also.

Strange Engineering products are superior in my opinion.
