How to: Supra MA70 rear discs to Hilux

[bmxer54]

Just a quick note, I wanted to add that the ma70 rear brakes are the same as the mz20,gz20 and ga70 if you find the ma70 stuff is hard to come by...
I found this out by my own experience and im sure this info is floating about on toymods somewhere but thought it would be good to add to this thread for anybody else attempting this.

Cheers,

Peter.

i have GZ20 rear brake conversion on hilux diff and the rear right brake line comes very close to panhardrod end on the body. you will need to fit a different barb on the brake line to fix this problem or it will sheer your brake line in half. ill post pics.

pic as promise

Hey,
just wondering if anyone knows the length of the Hilux Studs and the MA70 Studs.
the ones pointed out in the pic below. i know the Hiace has been measured. but in order to sort through a box of bolts at the wreckers i need to know the length im looking for.

regards
Tim.

have one pulled apart in my room at the moment

the thread and shank are about 36mm, the entire stud is 42mm

Is that off a RN41 Hilux ?? in page 2 i think it is.. it shows the Hiace length.. and the newer hilux is longer than hiace... i think the older hilux is the shorter bolts.. can confirm ?

... the entire stud is 42mm

Hmmm, that rings a bell.

Cheers,

i am going to be putting mine together over the next few days/week so if anyone wants any photo's in particular let me know... although im sure all this thread needs now is info/pics on hb cables

ok, ive ran into trouble

i have puller apart the backing plates to the extent that i have the shoes off and assembled ready to go onto the new set up

however, i cant get the damn backing plates off the mount, ie the bit with the bearing. we have been haveing a staring competition which the bearing is winning

Q: Do i need a press? is there a trick? will a 12" grinder solve all of my problems?

I used a press to get mine apart. You could rig something up with a bottle jack though I would imagine.

I can't remember exactly how I got mine off when I changed the bearings but I remember we had oxy, vice, large hammer, punches. Heat and bash works on so many things, just has lots of victims as well.

is there a circlip? i couldnt see one

[briney]

there is a snap ring around the axle. on top of the bearing retainer collar. be very careful pressing it apart. i have made a couple of tools for this in the past. one used half a diff housing, and some angle iron. the other used a plate with holes to bolt to the mounting surface, welded to some pipe. it is very important to not press against the backing plate. i can probably provide photos of the tool if you need.

sorry i should have been more clear

i am talking about the xa70 rear backing plates

[bmxer54]

are there studs holding the backing plate onto thew carrier? could this be a problem
my diff is almost ready to go in just my left axles spline seems to be warped and wont go into the center propperly any info or pics on how to setup the drums? i dont think i saw anything on the previous pages edit: nm found it must of missed before... post 179 meh

Cheers,

Peter.

yeah you undo the studs and two small screws and the backing plate detaches from the hub carrier, then you need something heavy to get the bearing/hub free in order to remove the plate
