After Nat's mishap today,

The rear disc is in 2 halves, Do I need to replace both sides or just the damaged one?

Cheers

what happened?

[Dutch]

what happened?

Keep up old chap..... Nat kissed the curb with the WJ shiny mobile today...... curb won.

Nat ok but in dog house now     (top tip ..... no need to be angry ...... capitalize  )

[Mike Pavelin]

You always replace in pairs.

[Cockney Boy]

A hit that hard might have done more damage, fingers crossed I'm wrong

[Panic mechanic!]

  new discs and pads required, and you could have a buckled wheel now or bent shaft

[Bulldog67]

 (top tip ..... no need to be angry ...... capitalize  )

  fuck chivalry, milk it for all its worth 

[jay140285]

Ok, so pair of disc's and pads.

Wheel still need to sort, I know Jedi's got a set but need the 3inch lift to fit them.

As Cockney Boy stated I am concerned about other damage,

What else could it have done / is there anyway to check shaft as Rob mentioned them?

[Panic mechanic!]

you can always swap them over for the standard ones i have here to get you about if you want?

[jay140285]

Cheers Rob, will get disc's from motorfactors in the morning then wobble over if your about.

[Bubba]

i would get it jacked up and have a close look cockney had 2 bent shafts

[jay140285]

How can I tell Kev?

[Bubba]

jack the thing up measure everything them on four stands securely blocked and chocked spin the wheels

[jay140285]

Eehhh??

So jack all 4 wheels onto stands?

The wheel is fucked so its not going to show true and straight?

I am confused

[Panic mechanic!]

put on a good wheel numpty and they you should be able to see the run out.

[jay140285]

lol,

What you up to tomorrow dude?

[Panic mechanic!]

staying in the house looking out the window at you i think.

[jay140285]

Yes but Jeep is an mine wonky!

So you need to come to my house and look out of my window.

[Wildfire]

Wooo! done that a few months ago!

I wrote off the wheel, split the disc and bent the half shaft

I eventually sourced a new shaft and fitted new discs!! pads and shoes!

Keep in mind that the Diesel half shaft is 1" shorter than the petrol ones ( no idea why but they are!! oh and there a larger diameter too! - more torque you see!  )

Good luck

if the shaft is bent, which is highly likely, it'll be cheaper to sling another s/h axle under it .

[jay140285]

Wheel and disc off, just taking wheel to see its its bent at rim of the face.

[Cockney Boy]

i would get it jacked up and have a close look cockney had 2 bent shafts

I'd like to point out I think the shafts were already bent 

[jay140285]

Wheel is usable, only the rim bent.

But Shaft is screwed!

Do I need specialist tools to replace the half shaft,

What do I need, obviously new shaft, do I need a fitting or bearing kit as well??

[Bubba]

shaft if sh will come with a bearing and seal on it but i would replace with new anyways

[jay140285]

Is it a drive fix or specialist tools needed?
