rekab69 Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi, Just set about swapping over the drums for disc on my 110 1998 inc axle swap... I have stripped the drums, back plates...etc... off of the drum braked axle.. The halfshafts are differents lengths by 25mm. The Td5 halfshafts won't go in the drum braked axle because the of the raised oilseal surface.. is there a halfshaft available that doen't have the raised area or do I shall it turned down on a lath...? If I run the longer drum axle halfshafts then I believe they interfer with the alloy wheel centres...? Also if I run without the oil seal, the bearings are lubricated by oil instead of grease..is this right??? One more question... the stub axle are different lengths too, and there is a lot of play to be taken up to set wheel bearing play, are there very thick spacer on offer to allow for this or am I missing the obvious...? Thanks in advance Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm confused, at the top you say Drum brakes & 1998 either you mean 1989 with rear drum brakes, or your fitting a 1998 rear axle, if the later just swap the axle over complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66gaza Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I thought disks were standard fit from 94 onwards (300tdi). so if yours is a 98 why does it have drums? Edit, Western beat me to it. Gaza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekab69 Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hi Guys, 1998 Td5 bent rear axle, salvage buy seemed a good idea at the time... Repalcing rear axle with one kindly donated from V8 freaks 89? 110. Sooooo.... trying to make one good one from the two.. cheers db Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66gaza Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 My Dad converted an 89 sal to disks by using everything from the later axle, stubs, hubs 1/2 shafts the lot. Gaza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ralph, I have a silly question then... is there such an axle where the stubs axle parts, are part of the axle housing..? because I've undone all the bolts and clumped it with a copper mallet and they seem to be solid.. Don't mind a bright red face if I'm missing something here.. cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66gaza Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 With 1/2 shaft removed and the 6 bolts that hold the stub axle to the flange removed it will come off with a clout. Gaza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
