XJ Rear Disc Conversion

[BermB1026]

great write, thanks. Seeing all your clear pics of the job take away some fear in dong the swap. If I ever come across a junk ZJ youll know what ill be doing!

Hey Hummeron37 is this Jeep driven daily? I'd love to here some feedback on the road vs. offroad.

Teraflex has a kit for the e-brake cables

Teraflex make a conversion and sells the cables separate for like $40 each. I will buy them eventually.
The XJ is not a DD but I have been cruising it around just because. It stops awesome and John did a great job at a good price. Its probably the best mod I have done and if I ever get another XJ I will do it again. The only reason I havent driven it everyday is because I have a bad ujoint in the front axle and it is clunking and ready to break. Definitely recommend this mod. Completely satified and Johns work was neat and clean and he went out of his way to paint everything and run the lines nice. THANKS JOHN.
Anyone have a driverside front axle?

[565matt]

I do have a spare axle but why not just replace the u-joint. axle has to come out either way

[Hummeron37s]

Can't find the right ujoint. Going back on the hunt for it in a little while

Ive got all the disc conversion stuff around. Just one more project to get to. Probly going in the Comanche, But i have the Dana 35. I have a 30 spline 8.25 that im thinkin mite have a good home in the MJ with the discs. The XJ is gonna get the 8.8 that has discs. But now i have the Wrangler. Its like musical chairs, cant decide.

Which u-joint is it calling for.. When I did mine I bought 2 and have a spare sitin in my tool box

[Hummeron37s]

I found it. Therw was 3 choices two had clips on the inside ans i needed external c clips. $16.00 at pepboys. Thanks anyway.

[Hummeron37s]

Got the four cclips off but still cant get the joint out. I dont get it. Any tricks?

Hammer....Vise.....Socket.......Smack.......Smack! There pressed in. Ya gotta smack em out and use the vise as a bench point. Then use the vise to carefully press the new caps in. Watch the needle bearings. One falls over in the cap and your takin it back apart.
