discs for the back
« on: April 01, 2006, 21:42:52 »
Is there any known probs in fitting a disco rear axle to my drum braked 90?
can i use my diff and harfshafts?

will the hubs be use able?

what about brake lines?

and what about the top ball joint?

i think every else is the same, straight swop. or is it ?

its a straight swap as the disco axle (94 onwards) is the same axle fitted to the defender (94 onwards)

pre 94 its the same as the rangie axles & AFAIL its straight swap


( i put a post 94 axle onto my B plate 90 to replace the drums  :wink: )

everything is the same except for the halshafts/hub which are different to a defender with drums

why do you want to put the guts in the axle from your 90 just fit a complete axle from either a rrc or a disco up to 94 when it changes to 24 spline and the drive flange changes

i have a 1987 rrc axle on my 90 straight swap, just the ball joint is i night mare to part company, gets very snug  :lol:  just let the axle dangle and give the ball join a few clouts with a big hammer and bar and it will go eventualy, BUT KEEP CLEAR OF THE FALLING AXLE as it isnt the lightest thing in the world lol
