Assembly Instructions

48-71 Jeep Rear Disc Kit

Parts List

(2) Vented Rotors

(2) Caliper Brackets

(2) Spacer Plates

(8) 3/8-24 Grade 8 Lock Nuts

(8) 3/8 Flat Washers

(8) 7/16 Flat Washers

Installation Instructions

  1. Remove the axles to take the backing plates off.
  2. Pinch off the rubber line between the frame and axle. This will keep the fluid in the lines and make it easier when you bleed the system. Grind off any projections on the caliper that might hit the bracket.
  3. Install caliper brackets to the housing.
  4. Reinstall axles using the spacer plates. Shims are also needed to get the correct end play (on early rear end models), see your repair manual for the procedure. (Remember the taper bearings have to be greased with wheel bearing grease - 50 ft. lbs. dry -35 ft. lbs. lubed.)
  5. Install the rotors on the studs (making sure the surfaces that meet are clean with no projections that would make the rotors wobble) and hold in place with a couple of wheel nuts.
  6. Rotate the rotors and check for wobble, if there is any, check for interference in the mating surfaces, if not then the axle and rotor bolted together should be faced to true up. Mark the position that it is bolted to the axle so that it can be reinstalled the same way if the rotors are ever removed.
  7. Check the brackets to make sure they are parallel with the rotors. Shim or bend the brackets to correct.
  8. Install the calipers so that the bleed screw is facing up, if it is facing down use the other caliper. Grind any projections on the bottom of the calipers. Use the 7/16 washers as needed between the bracket and the sleeves in the calipers (to move the sleeves as far toward the inside if the car as possible).
  9. Use a flexible brake line to each caliper as they move with pad wear and when the brakes are applied.
  10. Bleed the brakes and try out. If the back wheels skid before the fronts you should install an adjustable proportioning valve to reduce the pressure to the rear brakes (follow gravity bleeding instructions in troubleshooting sheet especially for rear calipers).
