Default How screwed am I?

Doing some rear brake work when i noticed one of my right front hub bolts was broken and the retaining pin was missing. Other 4 bolts were lose I tightened them up now. Do I need a whole new stub axel or will the broken part come out?

Also When I was removing the brake fluid reservoir the two rubber boots/seals/seats(whatever they are called) were jacked up. Does anyone know where I can just get the "boots"

they are the two thick black rubber seals in pick

I don't know about your hub issue but if you've got a good mech friend, he can order just the two bushings for the mc res, mine cost 12 bucks or so. Otherwise you've got to order the entire res kit.

Take a look at Paul Grant's EBAY store, he has a lot of DI parts listed on it. Used parts at attractive prices.

Same with Landroverboneyard.com - Roverbones home page... YOU GET TO TELL HIM WHAT YOU THINK THE PART IS WORTH AND HE SAYS YES OR NO... SO it can be cheaper than ebay...

For hub issue - take a look at attached page from Brakes section of RAVE - which part is broken? Which is missing? Seems like most everything can come off and be replaced. I took this off, and pulled out the CV and half shaft in about 30 minutes on a very hot summer day at the salvage yard, and very few people work slower, or with worse results, than I....

Which bolt is broken? One of the five that hold that outer cover on was broken off on mine. I was able to just drill into it and use an EZ out and it backed right out of the hole. You can get broken bolt extractors pretty cheap and they do typically work just fine. I find that most broken bolts in that area are not broken because they have siezed, they are broken because some genious tried to over tighten them.

This is a poor description and kinda unhelpful to those trying to help you.
There are 5 bolts that hold on the drive member flange. Is it one of these?

That's crazy that AB calls the drive member a hub. The hub is what those five bolts bolt into. If the bolt is broken in the hub you should probably be able to back it out with vice grips and heat. If it's turned out you've broken anything else let me know. I have tons of front end parts for your truck.
