Alright I have SI hubs sitting in my shed. Here they are:




What do I need to change or what do I need to look at when putting them in. Does it look like I need any other parts? I have one SI axle, just need to get another one, because mine are shot.

Thanks guys.

 

Hmm looks like you spray painted the rotor and everything black....?

But yeah that's all you need, as long as you get another axle. This would be a great time to change any busted balljoints too.

 

Not to thread jack, but when you do the swap do you have to bleed your brakes? Like do you have to mess with fluid?

 

Yup, just use the SI axles and bleed the brakes after swapping the calipers out. Now you don't have to worry about snapping the half-shafts

although the SI braking power would be worth the hassle

 

Lol, I didn't paint anything. These are more parts from the previous owner.

Now I just have ot read up on how to bleed the brakes.

HAHA!!! That's what I thought! I am uber cheap ***!

 

 

How do you actually perform the hub swap? (assuming the caliper and rotor stay the same?)

 

not trying to tread jack but i have a question on kinda the same subject ok you can use the hf brakes on the si hubs but can you use the is brakes on the hf hubs?

 

The hub swap is simple. I have done it twice, and short of pulling an axle out there is nothing to really worry about. And it is really worth it to replace the lower ball joints. they are like 30 bucks at autozone for lifetime warranty ones and 12 for 3 month warranty, only thing you have to get done afterwards is you HAVE to get an alignment or at least I did, and something you may want to look into is make sure that the wheel bearings on the new spindle are good I did the swap and swapped into bad bearings and that was a huge mistake.
