Steve 90 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I have a 1994 discovery disc brake rear axle on my 90 and need to change the hub as a few of the drive flange bolts have broke off and in a hurry and a very hungover state on saturday morning I managed to break a drill off in the one hole.... ......... Anyhow I have a couple of front hubs from the same 1994 discovery that have already been taken off. Will these fit the rear if I swap the disc? Id rather do this than pull apart a good complete axle which I was gona sell complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Discovery 1 Rear hub is part number FTC1457 (toJA032850) Discovery 1 Front hub is part number FTC1457 (to JA032850) Same part number means same part, so it'll fit. Sorry Ralph wasn't here to answer this - probably sleeping as usual! Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 if the bearings are same size onto stub i guess so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgasmic Farmer Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Just be aware that the part number above is for the earlier 10 spline axle (going by JA03...) My JA 01... is a 10 spline and the KA05... is a 24 spline. Hopefully the hubs themselfs aren't too different though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Did you mean hub, as in wheel bearing housing, or the drive flange - centre of wheel (retained by 5x17mm bolts)? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Quick check on paddocks and the hub assemblies for Disco 1 after JA032850 are both the same too Part number FTC 942 (ca 50 notes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 It's the same way that i fitted disc brakes to a rear axle on the salisbury or a rover axle, by fitting front hubs to the rear so that the "standard" defender type drive flange bolts in without rattling loose.

Orgasmic Farmer Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 He means the bit that holds the bearings and that the drive flange screws into. I watched as steve broke off a drill and an easyout in the rear one trying to remove 3 of the 5 flange bolts that had sheared off. Had to drive it with only 3 bolts afterwards (though that was better than the 2 that he had been using!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget the two broken bolts I stuck back in with silicone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Those bolts are bloody useless. We get new(ish) vehicles where the bolts have never been removed, and they break. One theory is that LR use a thread locker which is too strong. We replace them with HT 8.8 bolts, sometimes Allen cap screw bolts. It is amazing how many vehicles we get in the workshop where the bolts have sheared and the garage has just glued in the remains of the bolt with silicone.

ciderman Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 These bolts are not up to the job ,Espesialy when your stripping and rebuilding your axles frequently. I helicoiled the flange holes on the hub and used high tensile 10.9 cap bolts . And they can be done up tight without having to worry about stripping the thread or snapping a bolt. I think you should do this on yours Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeagent Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 i replaced the ones on my old defender with 12.7 tensile cap screws, used a locking washer but didn't ever use threadlock, i never had one come loose, and always got them out.. i replaced the original ones because i stretched some of them doing them up, and broke one getting them out... carp. change them for something better.
