Great video! Might have to do this when I swap in a Dana 30 into mine. One thing I noticed you mentioning was the orientation of the drain hole. The drain hole is for the grease cup, not the drum brake. Even when you convert to disks, it’s important to align the drain hole so excess grease from the wheel bearing can drain and not sling out onto your brakes.

When you use those old style wheel pullers, once you have the puller installed, and the puller under about 1/4 turn of tension, you normally tap the end of the center bolt of the puller with a heavy (48 oz.) hammer to break the hub loose. You shouldn't need an impact wrench.

I just bought some adapter plates from Brennon's Garage that will allow me to use disc brakes from a Suzuki Samurai, or Geo Tracker. I need to buy the rotors, calipers, and brake lines yet, but total price per axel should be around $300. This is my goal for this summer. Those stock 1948 drums are not much good. What did you do with the master cylinder? I bought a dual reservoir one. Now I have to figure out how to make an adapter for it......

Now I just need to find a flat fender. I’ve been a auto tech for 47 years and the only thing I wouldn’t recommend is to put grease on any of the brake components. It becomes a magnet for road dust and brake dust and will actually cause more binding than not using any.

Grease your threads of your expensive new tool....spray a tiny amount of a thin lock lube... Later with the calipers, forget lithium, get yourself some synthetic silicone grease. EZSlide is a well known brand. Lube the collars before you slide them into the caliper. Apply to the contact points too just where the pads meet the saddle of the knuckle/torque member/whatever you wish to call it. Also... with disc its more critical for runout to be as close to zero as possible, compared to drums. I've always found it beneficial, in the long run, to LIGHTLY coat the hub surface with lithium grease, before installing the disc, but not enough to fly out and contaminate the disc/pads. With 2 machined surfaces, a little lube will let it go that much longer before water gets in and rusts things. You'll thank me at your NEXT brake job too when you don't gotta get ignorant with it. ;) Cheers... be safe.

Nice vid. But, my experience, you want a thick enough spacer so that the axle studs are recessed and not out. The wheel should be flat against the spacer. The vid looks like the 1" thick spacer, the axle studs are out of the hole. You can shave the head of the stud with a grinder and correct the threads with the nuts. Put nuts on first, cut the head, and use the nut to rethread them.
