Because of a combination of:
A) I don't have a hub/drum puller
B) I bent my largest C-clamp trying to take off the U-Joint to replace the rear differential pinion seal (which is leaking)
I'm taking it to a shop I trust to replace the rear brake cylinders and the differential pinion seal (and I'm trying to talk them into the steering gear seal as well) - but they aren't comfortable with DOT 5, so I'm just going to go with DOT 4 for now, with regular flushing.
But my reasoning was generated by the recommendation from Kanter (below) as well as a few others, and based on previous experience with crystallization in my BTV before I rebuilt it, which gives me pause. Perhaps at a future date when I have obtained a hub puller I will do the job myself.
