Relatively short work is made of removing the rear axles, except we found the small retaining pin was snapped-off and when unscrewed, only ~ 20% came out, the rest was left in the hole! Thankfully, JtC was able to coax the remainder out with a scribe... definitely dodged a bullet there!
Cleaning up the axle flanges...
Sweet new part goodness! The quality of construction and finish of the parts from Right Stuff is good...
Then dummying it up...
The caliper needs to be trial fitted to check what spacer is required to centre the caliper on the disc. Mine took the thinnest of the three spacers (the 0.25" spacer)...
Lookin' good so far...
The rotor hat is thicker than the drum backing plate, so I will need to replace some of the shorter wheel studs for longer ones; the decision was made to replace the lot.
A bit of a shopping list then:
- 2 x new rear axle housing seals
- a new diff cover gasket
- a replacement diff centre retaining pin
- 10 x wheel studs
- 10 x wheel nuts
