It's a roller, trailing arms and axle replaced.
Son replaced the trailing arms in June. The Driver side rear brake was locked up and the drum would not easily come off. We found a cheap Eaton HO52, so we swapped in a new axle. This was quicker than trying to rebuild the brakes. In the process we went from a 4.56 to a 4.10.

Don't have any pictures with the axle out, but here are pictures when we pulled it to the house to clean it and one of my son when we pulled it back to the shop.
