Rear Brake Conversion

Recommended Posts

markw

i am converting my rear beam from drum to discs, i have bought everthing new but my problem

is that when i put the wheel bearing onto the shaft it is to far up the shaft so there is nothing to tighten the

nut upto cos the bearing is about 5mm past the shoulder of the shaft,

so there be somekind of spacer behind the wheel bearing to the bracket that bolts to the trailing arm

and mounts the caliper

The stub axle itself is different between disk and drum models - are you still using the drum brake stub axle?

As Ant's said the stub axles are different length's, Or there is a spacer/bearing seal at the back of the bearing

yes there should be a spacer on the stub pin behind the bearing, not sure how thick it is though.

 

Peugeot only list is as part of a wheel bearing kit, or a "hub repair kit" which consists of the spacer, nut washer and dustcap, for £39.25 a side :lol:
