disc rear axle

Post by Jay30685 » Tue Oct 02, 2012 9:30 pm

Right guys, I'm doing leaf over spring so I'm going to have my axles off, I've got a spare pair of axles that I can do the work on to make it a straight swap.

I'm wanting to weld the rear diff up and build the axle to have rear disc.

Can anybody tell me what I need? I've got a spare pair of axles so have calipers etc. Would like to do it as cheap as possible

Thanks

From front- Caliper carriers. Brake hoses. Wheel studs.

From rear- old drums to cut centers out of.

There is a guide in the diy section on the home page.

Diff ratio...
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

:thumbup:

I should say against a samurai axle. 413 axles are the same width and spring spacing as 410 axles but have samurai sized diffs and a slightly lower ratio.

I'm also doing this on my new axle as my old one collapsed where someone had done some shocking welding :pissed: :pissed:
But got a quick question. What's the best way of getting the drum brake casing off the shaft? I don't want to damage the bearings as they look new, but don't want to cut the casing.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

How did you get to see the bearings when the drum is still on the shaft. You need to undo the 4 bolts behind the drum to remove the shaft :er: :er: :er:

Normally the drum is removed with a slide hammer, but the shaft is still in the axle.
