Hi,
I planning to install a complete new Wilwood disc brake system on both the front and rear of my 1973 Dodge Challenger. Currently I have:
stock front discs
stock rear drums on an 8 3/4 rear diff
For this they require me to measure the axle flange offset to determine which brakes will be suited to my purpose.
1. What steps are necessary to get the axle flange housing and the axle flange to a state where I can measure them?
2. They would also like to know whether I'm using a press-on green bearing or snap ring bearing? I'm not sure what either of those are.
3. While I'm asking about Wilwood brakes, is there any particular difference on Wilwood brakes between slotted and drilled or smooth discs for street use?
I have read around and gathered ideas on how to go about it, I would like to be more certain before I start fiddling with brakes which I need for the time being.
Cheers,
