D-44 parts help, rear disc

[katoom]

I bought a set of d-44's for my samurai that need alittle attention, i would also like to go to rear disc while i am at it. My local parts store is not much help in finding parts for this. I need the inner front hub bearing and axle seal plus wheel bearings. Anybody here sell a rebuild kit or know of a source that i can get the correct parts the first time? I searched for rear disc and came up with this site.www.backcountrybinders.com. Does anyone have experience with this kit or can reccomend another kit?

There is a link to rear discs in this thread (http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=373713).

the rear wheel bearings are Timken Set10. Don't use any other type that might be cross referenced to. These are a tapered bearing and that is what these axles require. You can call BCB and John should be able to help you with the bearings.

I can get Timken bearings at Autozone, Napa, and Carquest. You will need to search this and other sites for rear disk options

Thanks for the help. I had searched and found most of the info on the disc kits, i just wanted to see if there is anything else out there. I ordered the brake brackets from steeltech, with the rest of the parts from autozone. My biggest problem is parts for the frt diff. Autozone has the wheel bearings but i need the bearing inside the hub. This is the thin needle bearing that the outer axle shaft rotates in. I am sure it has a more specific name but i dont know what it is. Maybe someone could fill me in on this,thanks again.

IIRC the P# is SKG-1. It comes with the bearing and the rubber seals that are normally gone!!

A good counter monkey should have found it!!
