Pajero Brake Upgrade

Postby dvk-kp » Fri Jan 20, 2017 7:40 am

Hi, the rotors on my 94 pajero are rooted and the pads are low so I pulled some good spares off my parts truck. The truck the parts came off is a soft top that would have had 18" wheels from factory to clear its bigger brakes. Old rotors are 285mm and new ones are 315mm OD.

My question is does anyone know if the difference for the bigger rotors is in the calliper itself (longer in the mounting bit) or the hub assembly? Ideally I'd like to keep my hub, it's got good wheel bearing and seals etc and just put the new rotors and calipers on. Haven't had a chance to pull my truck apart yet as it's my daily driver so want to get the whole job done in a day.

Thanks in advance.

The stubs are the same , the bigger brakes have a larger disc and calliper but the mounting holes are the same.

Let me know what the upgrade is like, I have a jtop set in the shed as well and have never got round to it.

Awesome, that's good news. Will make it a very straight forward upgrade. Going to slot the rotors because I can do it at work and get some new pads and give the calipers a pull down and spruce up. Hopefully be able to get them fitted next weekend, will let ya know how they go.

Thanks

You probably know this but you will need 16 in rims to clear the callipers or a large offset white spoke or grind the outside of the calliper down.

I've got 15x10 -44, they cleared on the original j top. Think 15x8 -22 did as well.
