to double check the fronts, look at the callipers thro the wheel, if theres a wire spring retainer like on the back its the old type tevis.

Dont rely on what other peoples have, like most brands or manf they and previous owners chop and change.

As far as doing the back discs, they are a doddle if you have basic diy skills. They dismantle in an obvious and logical way.

I did all four corners on my old WJ last year and they were the easiest Ive ever done :icon_super:
