40P10touring sedan Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I love that article but have a question...what can we 40 owners do for converting from Lockheed to bendix hardware as is the type shown in that article...would it be simple as finding a donor with the backing plates?...would they bolt on?...here's a reach, anyone convert to rear discs yet via some sort of tophats on the hub?! I'd love some sort of self adjusting going on back there without having to swap out the whole rear axle! Edited January 26, 2012 by 40P10touring sedan Quote
optimusprime8 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 What holds the drum on? The wheel and the lugnuts? Doesn't there need to be some way to secure the drum to the hub? Quote
Guest P15-D24 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 just buy the correct hub puller. Quote
greg g Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 Yes, tightening the wheel woth the lug nuts, center and retain the brake drums just as more modern applications. Quote
Scruffy49 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 If you do this run longer studs and you can easily add common as dirt Ranger/Explorer alloy rims... You can do the same on the front, very common on Sweptlines (61-71) as they run swedged front drums with non-swedged rear drums... And no more replacing reverse thread wheel bolts when the tire shop breaks one or more because they don't listen to you. Quote
