Rear disc brake? #222658 02/12/09 10:38 PM 02/12/09 10:38 PM

My questions is it looks to me that the caliper bracket slides around the axle and bolts to the housing. My axles have the sealed bearings and have a retainer on them. Does the caliper bracket bolt over top of the retainer or does the retainer have to be removed from my axles and then the caliper bracket bolt on?

I talked to aerospace and was told if the studs are long enough to go ahead and use both retainers, Aerospace aluminum first the the Moser one. If the studs are not long enough then i will need to cut the Moser retainer off. I measured the stud length and it looks to be long enough, in either case the Aerospace braket becomes the bearing retainer. Ed

My questions is it looks to me that the caliper bracket slides around the axle and bolts to the housing. My axles have the sealed bearings and have a retainer on them.
