Installation of this kit should ONLY be performed by persons experienced in the installation and proper operation of disc brake systems.
Before assembling the
Wilwood rear axle disc brake kit, double check the following items to ensure a trouble- free installation.
•Make sure this is the correct kit to fit the axle housing flange, not necessarily the rear
end make. Many times after market manufacturers put a different make of axle housing flange on the stock rear end housing (see Figure 6). Example; Big Ford rear ends with Olds-Pontiac flanges, therefore, an Olds-Pontiac rear disc brake kit would be the correct kit to order. Also, shock clearance may be a problem. They may have to be modified and/or relocated to clear the Wilwood kit after final assembly.
•Inspect the package contents against the parts list to ensure that all components and
hardware are included.
•Verify The Following Measurements Before Assembly.
• Bearing outside diameter. • Axle housing flange mounting pattern to pattern in bracket. • Stud pattern on axle flange to stud pattern in hat. • Axle center register diameter is 2.80”, Figure 3. This kit uses Wilwood’s
removable center register adapters. Rotors can either be centered on the axle register, i.e. register-centric or centered on the wheel studs, i.e. stud-centric. Due to variations in wheel stud final diameters, register-centric centering can be a more accurate method of centering the rotor to the axle. Wilwood offers various diameter adapters for purchase in addition to the ones supplied in this kit, see Table 1.
