Me and my front axle

<< < (2/2)

markyb:
can you not swap over the old brake discs from the 90 axle if it is a vented disc axle?

remove caliper and clamp and fit back to the disco axle.

i presume removing the swivel bolts that hold the clamp on will mean loosing some grease but would that effect the swivel preload?

sorry for jumping in thought its relavant and i will also know for the future

gt.jacko:
you can if you want just swap the whole hub assembly just unbolt from the axle casing and swap into your origional axle casing assumong said casing is ok and you have the same number of splines on your half shafts. I know this works as I,ve just done it. Also your defender calipers will fit straight on  as long as you have solid discs, the disco had two feeds to the caliper even if it had solid discs on.
Hope that helps

My 300 TDi has solid discs and only one feed into each front caliper, infact the front calipers are the same part number as the Defender ones.  :wink:
