Stub Axle and Caliper Question.

Hi All,

I need to remove the stub axle to put a maxima caliper bracket on for rear brake conversion. Can I take it out without out both bearings, oil seal, spacer etc all coming out as well?

I had the bearings replaced by a shop about 3 months ago and it hasnt been driven since so the Stub axle should come out reasonably easy.

Also, with the 280zx (r30 Skyline I think the same) calipers, can they be operated with just the park brake cable attached or do they also need hydraulic pressure? I just want to hook some sort of braking system up to ship the rolling shell.

Thanks

The stub axles should slide out easily since they were removed only a few months ago. The 280ZX calipers will work in the parking brake mode with only the cable attached. The parking brake is a mechanical devise not needing a hydraulic assist.
