Just replaced the old two-piece axles in my CJ7 with one piece, hope my brakes go back together as easily as yours!! Good video!

Great in depth video. Like cutting the bearing race to get to the inner. I'm trying to replace the bearings on a one piece axle shafts. They are too close to the back plate for me to get anything behind. I pressed the collar off fine. I think I'll go down that road on the bearing. Nice clear shots of getting the brakes back together.

good video. best one so far on rebuilding the 20. since most are used in off road applications it is recommended that you use a small amount of silicone sealant between the mounting flange and retainer and dust seal. not to retain grease but to keep as much water out of the area as possible since the secondary seal is locater toward the outside. also bolts should be in the drum area and nuts on the outside.

Hey its me again the BARBERCHOP. Just taking it easy and checking out videos. to dang hot outside 98 and humid, I thumbs up on the build. but oops you screwed the pooch on the brakes. Remember primary in front secondary in back. You put the primary shoe (smaller show) on the back and Secondary in the front. It will brake great in reverse. Secondary shoe is all ways against the Anchor pin at the top. were it gets wedged between the anchor pin and the drum. Sorry

These axles are notoriously weak due to the 2 piece design. I didn't see you install the C-clip into the axle prior to installing the hub. If possible, upgrade to a 1 piece axle if any kind of off roading planned for this jeep. Nice job.

@@ThatJeepAdventure Backing plates and hubs are at powder coater. Have to say, removing hub from the shaft was an event. My 20 ton press would have nothing to do with it. My 'ex' local parts store wanted $60 per axle, so went home to think it out. Ended up putting the axle assembly in the freezer for 48 hrs. then putting them back in press. Full press, heat to hub, hammers to shaft like your video, nothing happened. I turned to walk away and just about s#*@ my pants as the entire thing let loose. Funny thing is, even though I knew what would happen, other axle scared the s#*@ out of me again when it let loose. Anyway I think 48 hrs in the freezer and heat on the hub did the trick!

I thought the trailing brake shoe with more lining went to the rear, and the one with less goes in the front. If that’s the case it appears that maybe the shoes are on backwards.

Enjoying your videos and am really looking forward to you working on the T150, but why did you use a grinding wheel on the axles instead of a wire wheel? It looks like you are removing enough metal to take them slightly out of round.
@ThatJeepAdventure4 жыл бұрын
Just ordered my trans rebuild kit, so it is on the way. I started with the wire wheel and it was just going to take way too long. Sandblaster would be a nice thing to have too. They are slightly out of round in a couple of places, but after repainting and all that, you can’t really even tell. Wire wheel would have been the better solution probably

Interesting to watch! Thanks for sharing. I have a '65 CJ5, starting to rebuild it. Question, though: what's that adapter plate you put on the end of the axle for?
@ThatJeepAdventure4 жыл бұрын
On the factory design the brake backing plate is the retainer for the axle shaft. This means that to pull the shaft or change the wheel bearing, the entire drum brake setup has to be removed. With the adapter kit, it allows the axles to slide out without tearing the brakes down.
