Claytonv8 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I've replaced my hub today along with disc and ebc new front brake pads. The pads not stay and keep dropping down and moving around.

It's just had wheel bearings all round new atub axles swivels and discs and pads, would seem its also having new calipers now! May aswell have the lockers rebuilt and the diff input seal done and call it a axle rebuild ay! Cheers for reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I'd take a single new caliper over an axle build any day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has i say I've just put on all near bearings new swivels new discs new pads, finished the job today and that's when I noticed the pads dropping 😔, may aswell replace the remaining pieces on the axles now like calipers diffs and then every things new and I can expect the next part to break instead 🍻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Why replace the diffs? If it is just an oil seal then you can do that without removing them from the axle case. Diffs go for 100K + without trouble, seems like needless expense unless you know they are bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diffs go for 100K + without trouble, seems like needless expense unless you know they are bad. The compressor seems to run more than it used to so I'm assuming seals in the diff are ready to be done. Also I'd like them pegged why I'm at it. Running big tires and giving it some heavy right foot on pay & plays has taken it's toll so it's bin given some love but maybe a bit more wouldn't go a miss 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Ah.... Well you can cheat then, and just unbolt the swivels at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
