D30 and brakes question

[ocalajeeper]

I have an '88 XJ with disco D30. If I put a non disco D30 from a 96 cherokee that doesn't have the brakes on it, would I be able to bolt up the brakes from my disco d30? Anyone know? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure there's a difference in "hat height" on those rotors. Hit up a couple online parts stores and compare part numbers. Or, finish putting brakes on the '96 axle.

steering knuckle (the "C" between the ball joints), hub, rotor, and caliper from disco onto the newer axle will get you going. Just be sure to order parts from the earlier year vehicle when you need replacements for any of these in the future.

in order to do that, I'm going to need to take off the big axle nut correct? just trying to get an idea of what tools I'll need to pick up. I think the only thing I'll need that I don't already have is the 36mm axle nut.

because it was a disco axle, yes-- you'll need to keep the shafts from the new axle and use the hubs from the old one
