One piece and rear disc, do I need to remove the backing plate off old axles

[cuban11182]

I currently live in an Apartment and most of the things I've been able to do here. One thing I'd like to do is put in some one piece Moser Axles, and I've read that you need to remove the backing plate to re-install the drums. If I was to get the SSBC rear disc conversion and the Moslers at the same time would I be able to install the bearings at work (we have a press) and then just slip the axles in?

Thanks.

I would call Moser on this to be sure.
Also-You will need to change the master cly to one that is valved for disc.

The Master Cylinder? Or do you mean the proportioning valve?


I read the instructions for the SSBC upgrade and it says to remove the backing plate entirely: http://ssbrakes.com/attachment/63467-Instruction Manual

I'm going to call Moser and see what they say.

Thank you for the advice.

Check into it before you commit to discs in the rear.

The only reason I'm thinking about it is because I live in an apartment. Maybe I'll just replace the leaking seal, and when I move next year (if I don't deploy, just found out about that today) I'll have a garage that I can use.

You have 2 seals on that axle assembly.

I was looking at them. Not very difficult to change them out.

Thanks for the help.
