rear breaks

[86MJX]

the wheel cylinders on my old d35 are bigger than the ones on the new d35 that i still have to put in(lazy) but wtf what gives. will the ones on the old d35 go in the new one? :typing:

[Wildman]

The question is.........

 

Which D35 do you have :hmm:

 

Do you have a "new" D35 from a XJ, with the 9" brake drums, that your using on a MJ that "had" 10" brake drums??????

 

And that's why the wheel cylinders are different sizes?????

[86MJX]

nope this one came strate out of an Mj

[Wildman]

OK.......from what year???

 

I know the front brakes were changed in '91, and from my searching, the rear wheel cylinders were also changed -

 

'89 = Raybestos WC17507 (LF) WC17508 (RT)

 

'91 = Raybestos WC37844 (LT & RT) Note- bleeder is centered on wheel cyl.

 

What effect does the year change have to do with your D35's???

 

Or.....are you going to say there from the same year MJ :dunno:

[86MJX]

I'm not sure of the year i sent reser a pm, but i think it was eather a 89, 90, 91, i won't know till he gets back to me, but will i be able to take the lil ones out to put in the bigger ones with the rest of the breaks? :typing:

[86MJX]

o i got the rear end without the rest of the breaks thats y I'm having to transfer them from the old one to the new. pads, springs ect ect

[Wildman]

OK......if your "new" D35 will accept the wheel cyl's then your OK. It's the "new" D35 is a '91 or '92, and the wheel cyl's don't fit the backing plate, then you'll need to get the newer style to make it all work.

I don't understand any of what you wrote. The basic question is, are the brakes on both axles 10 inches in diameter, or is the replacement axle a newer, Chrysler-vintage axle with the smaller 9-inch brakes?

[86MJX]

ok so as it turns out the new rear end has the 9in breaks and the old one has 10in,SO can i just pull the axle shafts out of the old one and put them in the new one? is there c clips or any thing i shuld know about doing that or any problems that i might have? thanks for any help. John

The old axle will be the non c-clip style. The "new" axle will be a c-clip axle. So the shafts will not interchange. And I don't think the brakes will interchange. I am not certain, but I think the bolt pattern attaching the backing plates to the axles is different.

[Wildman]

:agree:

 

You can not change the axle shafts that are made for a non-C clip to a C-clip, or '91+.

 

2 totally different axle shaft mounting and bearing set-ups.

 

Your best bet is to get the Correct brake parts for the '91+ axle, with the 9" drums and make that one complete.

 

And, I think Eagle is correct, that the backing plates are totally different, and not interchangeable.

I'm pretty sure the the D35 C-clip axles started in 1990.

:wavey: Mr. Hornbrod

 

You could be right, I'm just doing this off the top of me head........ :headpop:

[HOrnbrod]

Me too Mr. Wildman. :waving:
