Jeep CJ5 4 Wheel Disk Brake Conversion!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- For decades the only option for brakes on a Jeep was drums. Drums are problematic in keeping properly adjusted and fill up with mud and dust. This video details how easy it is to bring your vintage Jeep into the 21st century with a 4 wheel disk brake conversion. This requires minimal modification and maximum braking upgrade! This applies to most Willys CJ2A, CJ3A, CJ3B, and early CJ5. These brakes work on all the closer knuckle Dana 25, 27, 30, and 44. Now that the 1967 Jeep CJ5 has brakes it time to go on some adventures in it!

I have finally found somebody that talks more country than I do.
Haha I’ll take it!
@@SevenBarSalvage while watching this video I thought the road looked real familiar. Drove over there to where I thought it was and sure enough I live about a mile from you. Thanks for all the videos, they have been a huge help. I bought a CJ5 basket case and will be starting on it real soon.
@@billbarnes9718 That’s awesome man come on over and say hey sometime! If you need any help let me know!
Just FYI, if you can recall I was doing a front disk brake conversion on my 47 CJ2A and could not get the front disks to release pressure. Finally realized that the rubber hoses were clogged so after replacing all rubber the brakes work great. Thanks for all your help over the summer.
Glad to hear you got it sorted out! Anytime!
I bought my first Jeep in 1972. Over the years, I seen some custom disc jobs. That looks doable at home. I plan to convert the rear brakes on my 85 CJ-7. You really know your stuff for a young Jeep Freek. I found your video by accident. Glad I did. I have a set of lock outs like yours. Pain in the ass to lock in, but they are indestructable. I will never by anything newer than a CJ-7. A set of wrenches, screwdrivers, lock pliers, and you can repair anything along the trail. No Computers! I've had Jeeps in the past, buried in muddy water, that would total out these new techno terror jeeps. Just pull for floor plugs, spark plugs, change the oil, and go.
It’s a great kit! I appreciate it! Nothing beats the old ones the new ones are nothing like what they used to be. Thanks!
Sorry it took so long to reply. I'm an old bastard, and just now found out where your reply was in my g-mail. Years ago, when I was a young Jeep Freek, They actually had an advertisement in magazines. Jeep ... the tuffest 4 Letter word on wheels! @@SevenBarSalvage
I learned in this video A LOT THINGS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍
Glad to hear it!
I've had a few jeeps over the years. Currently have a 72 CJ5 I'm redoing. I love your enthusiasm about these old gems. Love your videos.
Awesome! There’s nothing like an old jeep, thank you for watching!
hated that cable clutch system on my ‘72. I welded on a piece of angle iron and converted it.
@@MegaTapdog I’ve been looking at hydraulic clutch systems they’ve got some good stuff on the market!
I did the dual res upgrade on my 63 CJ5 without removing the tub and you're right it was a GIGANTIC PITA.
I do like the peace of mind of not losing brakes entirely though as that did happen to me with it before I did the upgrade.
It’s a great upgrade good to know it is possible with the tub on! Haha you gotta choose your battles!
Uncle just gave me one of these he said last time it was parked it ran. Your video on getting it running was a big help!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Your FUN TASK STICK , d only regret I have , s dat , wen d instructor was giving d lecture , I was too lazy to attend d lecture , so , I learned nothing , while you learned , eveverything , your excellrnt !!! , Godbless !! , You and your love ones ! , From a 75 yr.

Haha thank you I really appreciate it!
Thank you for all the time you have taken to share unselfishly all your knowledge and experience!!
I really appreciate it! I’m glad I can help out others!
thanks for pointing out the 3/8 to 10mm adapter! Your filming is really good!
Thank you!
I appreciate the approach you take with research and analysis on these modifications. Excellent attention to detail.
Thank you for the positive feedback! I try and do as much prep work and research as I can so y’all don’t have to 😉
Really, Jacob?! Garage door open and a T-shirt? You lucky dog...we had a high temp of 8 degrees today! A couple things...dual masters were federally mandated in 1967 on all vehicles, so all post 66 jeeps have em. As you know, I did the conversion you recommended on my 67, too. If you use Suzuki XL-7 brake parts instead of Tracker/Sidekick brake parts...the rotors are vented, and the calipers bolt on without the spacers. I liked that a little better. less brake fade with vented rotors and it seems like the mounting would be more solid without spacers on the calipers. As for the spindle nuts, Dorman makes a kit with 2 nuts and the washers, so I'm sure your NAPA store has them or can certainly get them. The master cylinder...disc and drum cylinders are different; the drum master has a residual check valve in them to keep a little pressure in the system. you may have some drag with disc calipers so watch to make sure the brakes don't get hot on an extended drive. Hope all is well with you, bud.
Excellent information as always! Thank you for sharing! I appreciate it!
Do you know the PN for the 2 nuts and washers?
You site has been so helpful to me in restoring my 63 CJ5. I bought it in 2020 after seeing the price and wait for new ATV''s during covid. Being 6'3", I would never have even bought it if I hadn't seen your video on cutting out the rear wheel wells and moving the seat back. Mine's running great, looking good and comfortable to drive. So happy to have bought it over an ATV to run around the farm. Will try your brake upgrade in March or April. Thanks again for the great content.
That’s awesome to hear thank you for sharing!
Your point on strengthening the 5 bolts to knuckle is proven a must do. My rotor pulled off easily last night. Not the worst, but unexpected.
That’s a shame!
I did this conversion on my '42 last year following your video you did with your 3B. I just brought home a '77 CJ5 and thought I would watch this one to see if there's much that's different. I got a little excited that you we're gonna be showing how to get the dual reservior master cylinder installed without removing the tub because I bought the upgraded master cylinder with the conversion bracket but ended up keeping the single reservior on the jeep because theres not enough room for access. I'm glad to see you had success with that as well, though i eventually still want to do the upgrade, until then I did add a proportioning valve to my '42 and everything works as it should. Thanks for another great video!!
One day I’ll get up the energy and see what it takes to get the dual reservoir on! Thank you!
Thanks for the video, disc brakes make a big difference.
Thank you!
I just got a 76 CJ5 I’m no mechanic so thanks for the explanations
Glad to hear it thank you!
I'm a big fan of rollbars too. "I'd rather not die" LMAO best line of the video!
Plus now your brakes will actually work after a water crossing
Haha thanks! Good point!
Keep it coming. Love you content and how simple you make it to us RUclips mechanics. Lol
Glad to hear it! Thank you for following along!
Great video! I've been interested in buying an old CJ5 and your channel came up as a recommendation. This video was very informative and easy to follow, so I wanted to thank you for taking the time to record, edit, and share it with us here on RUclips.
I really appreciate that! I’ll always encourage someone to buy and old Jeep 😉
@@SevenBarSalvage Update: I ended up buying a 1962 CJ5 a couple months ago and am now in the process of re-watching all your CJ5 videos. Thank you, again, for putting in the effort to make these videos! They are VERY helpful!
@ I’m glad to hear it! Let me know if you need anything!
No tengo palabras para agradecerte, tengo un M38 A1 de 1961 y quiero instalar frenos de disco en las 4 ruedas, tu vídeo me aclaró muchas dudas. Gracias mil desde Venezuela.
Glad to hear it! Thanks!
Great informational video, as always. You are one of the few people I would trust working on my Willys Truck, wish you lived closer to me here in Florida, lol. I also have that EASTWOOD Brake line tool, your right, can't say enough about it and if you have ever done stainless lines this thing is a dream come true. Thanks for the video, keep em comin.
Glad to hear it thank you! It’s a lifesaver, and a money saver for sure!
Something to think about here about your bolts for your stud conversion and whell spacers.....
I know that in the avation industry the FAA Requirement is when you have your final flat/lock washers in place you must have a ninimum of 3 threads showing after the fastner is torqued in place! (I myself use some blue lock tite as well.)....
The purpose for this is it gives you a visual clue that the fastener is properly tightend and not lose on a quick inspection!.....
The knuckle studs I’m not how much clearance there is there. The wheel studs I agree they are too short I’m still looking for a good part number! I appreciate it!
Very nice work, it ALL looked great when you were done ✅
We just did the rear brakes an SS lines on our Tj..!! 😎👍
Awesome!
You are sure right about those clip things in the calipers. What a pain in the butt! Miserable to keep them in place while installed the pads, but I think I got it. Put in the inside pad first then pull and zip tie the calipers full tight to the piston and then install the outer pad. lots of space for the rotor and just cut the removed the zip ties.
That’s a good way to do it! I’m glad I’m not alone 😂
Thanks for the video, I have been wanting to do this conversion!
Glad to hear it thanks for watching!
Freaking awesome!! I wanted to use Brennan’s electric parking breaks on the rear of it!!
Maybe that should be the next big project 😏
That was Awesome!!! I’ll be following this build close!!!!
Thank you!
Thanks for all the info on the brake swap, i have got all the parts waiting in my save cart on ebay. I'm going to get another old jeep today, and I'm probably gonna fix it before my cj5, because the body needs less work, and it's a 55 m38a1. I want to paint it the original olive drab, and put both my grandpa's name's. on it somewhere, cuz they were both in wwll, and fought at D-day, and one was at the battle of the bulge. My one grandpa had a1968 mule, and as kid's we drove that thing all over. I have wanted one of these for a lotta year's. I appreciate. how much information you give, and how you research everything and give good accurate review's to. G-d bless.
That’ll be great for those!
Great Job. I really enjoyed your videos. If you want to do the upgraded master cylinder, look at a DJ5 mount. They came with frame mounted ones. If you’re near Fayetteville Tn. You can come get the one I took off my DJ5. Btw the mounts flip from RHD to LHD on DJ5.
I’ve not heard of that thank you for sharing! Shoot yeah we will have to meet up sometime!
I did the Metcalf rear disc with electric parking brake and love the ability to lock the rear wheels. I noticed using a 1” bore master cylinder didn’t produce enough pressure to equal the stopping ability of the disc/drum and dropped down to a 7/8” bore. If your rear wheels lock before the fronts on the single reservoir master add an adjustable valve to dial back the rear pressure.
That parking brake looked cool I’m glad to hear you like it, I might have to get me one! Good to know thank you!
Always a great job taking us along on your journey, thanks for sharing with us
Thank you for watching!
Always enjoy your videos. You've influenced me several in my 67 CJ5 restromod. You are right tho, there's not much room with a dual master cylinder. I'll be modifing the service hole in the floor pan to service it.
Glad to hear it! That’s a good idea! I want to research how hard it would be to have a firewall mounted master maybe even add a booster. One job at a time 😂
Had a CJ-7 over myself and my wife, yeah, I’m a roll bar fan too.
Dang!
Nice. I've got an old cj5 I'm going to put front disc brakes on. I want to get me an old flat fender someday though!!!
Oh yeah you gotta have one of both 😉
There is also disc/drum and disc/disc dual master cylinders. Keep that in mind, too
I'm doing my 2nd disc brake conversion on a 56 CJ5.The problem I'm having is getting the correct studs. I have found the holes on the stock D27 hubs, after they have been swedge, makes it impossible to find a stud that will fit. I have tried cutting the studs out. the swedge seems to expand the hole. The d25 hubs, I have no problem on finding the correct studs. Dorman 210-260 seems to work great. I had to purchase new D27 hubs for my first conversion. On the second I'm using a D25 front Axle with the D25 hubs. I would prefer the D27, the bearings are larger, and easier to get at the Auto Parts store. The D25 bearings are a little harder to find. Many of the Military parts suppliers carry them. But not the auto stores. The Brennan's plates makes the conversion very easy. I have used the S10 hoses at the wheel to axle housing. Thinking about moving the brake line to the frame and off the front axle housing ,like on the later model CJs . You videos are very helpful.
I’ve honestly not found a stud I like either. Let me know if you come up with anything. I really like the hose to frame setup it’s clean and works good! Thank you for watching!
@@SevenBarSalvage I found a Dorman 610-260 works well on the D25 hubs,and New D27 hubs. The Kurl is too small for used D27. the studs are long enough to have a little stud thread pass the Lug nut.
@@SF-fm9hs Thanks!
Great information. I appreciate your videos. Keep them coming.
Thank you!
Great videos! I just got a 1970 CJ5 with a pinto swap. Learning a lot from you with thus brake set up. Looks good and is on my wish list
Man that sounds fun! Awesome!
Just got all the parts to do the fronts on my 71 cj5 Dauntless. Plus the king pins...
Hope it goes as easy as yours appeared to be.
If there’s anything else in there that needs replacing it’s a good time. Otherwise should bolt on same as mine. Thanks!
@@SevenBarSalvage did your brackets come with the spacers still attached between the "ears" of the bracket?
@@palonghunter3608 Mine didn’t but he said he was changing over to that “Christmas tree” style to keep everything together
Thanks for making these videos, they are very detailed and informative. You have obvious skills and humble disposition. I installed all 4 on my 1970 cj5 and now I always stay in my lane when I hit the brakes, great improvement! Thumbs up and subscription worthy.
Thank you I really appreciate it! Glad to hear it and thank you for following along!
Another great video! Was wondering how the rear went. Looks like I’m going to do all four corners on mine also. Thanks for the informative videos!!
Thank you for watching!
You should consider the one piece tie rod conversion on that cj5 if you're not gonna go Saginaw. All you need is a 35.5" tube, and part 920536 tie rod end (from a commando. it has a different angle than the cj version of that tie rod end). Makes for a very cheap upgrade to to the split tie rods, and links the two front wheels with one solid piece like a dana 30. You use the driver's side tube from your old tie rods and link it from the bell crank to the passenger side. Easy peasy. if you use a two hole knuckle it's even better.
Sounds like a good upgrade. I’ll look into that thank you!
Great video!
Thank you!
Love it! Good job.
Thank you!
Very nice neat installation. I'm a bit surprised you don't need a power booster with the disc system.
This is a good base but I’m sure there’s room for improvement. I’m pretty impressed with how good it stops for manual brakes!
Great show, thank you
Thank you!
Great video! A lot of the links are outdated now for the parts and I’m trying to make sure I get the correct stuff. Any chance you could update some of the links?
Thank you! Sorry to hear that, send me an email to seven.bar.salvage@gmail.com and I’ll get you a part list!
Great job 👍😎
Thank you!
Thanks for the great job very simple quick and nice.once again Thanks for sharing with us this appreciations 🇩🇰👍🙏u have been saving me time please can u send me the place name to order the brake conversion kit.
Glad to hear it! Send me an email to seven.bar.salvage@gmail.com!
Beatiful !! Wonderful !! Amazin !! This is a kit especial for Jeep?
Really appreciate it! Yes, specifically early Jeeps!
9" brakes are great.
Those 6 bolts in the spindle need to be a touch longer
The factory master cylinder worked out ok with the disc brakes? I am thinking of doing this on my 69. Great video!!
Yes it’s be great I’ve done a ton of driving since the conversion! I would recommend this for any old Jeep with drum brakes. Thanks!
I can check but my dad’s 66 buick jeep that i inherited has a single. Man that thing is awesome. Shows 32,000 original miles. I can attest to only a few miles that the speedometer was not working.. with the exception of first gear jumping out and a few teeth gone on the rear end, it’s a great unit. The body how ever…. Not so good.
Interesting… that’s awesome! Glad you’ve got it!
Is it ok to upgrade cj5 drum brakes to disc brakes conversion cause am trying to make my 1963 cj5 jeep original as possible?
What’s nice about this upgrade is no one will ever know unless they really look close. It’ll look stock to most people! And it’s 100% reversible if you ever change your mind, but I think you’ll appreciate the better brakes 😉
Great video! Working on a '59 CJ5 and yours are the best videos I've found. Thank you!
Is the disc conversion preferable to the power brake/ booster kit additions I've seen some people recommend?
Also, would love to see a video on how you clean up these old parts. Like you did for the knuckle here. Just the tools, paint, technique etc. you like. Thanks again! Keep it up.
Awesome project! I’ve honestly never talked to anyone who’s use the power brake kit so I’m not sure. I will say these brakes stop excellent for manual brakes! That’s a good idea others have asked how I clean up stuff I’ll have to make a video on it! Thanks!
How to make it convert it in to mini truck or dala...
My understanding is the drain hole on the rear axle is there so if (when) the axle seal fails, the grease from the wheel bearings goes out through that hole, rather than into the brake drum. So it’s probably not necessary on the discs, but it won’t hurt anything.
Do you have any details or sources on the dual master cylinder bracket? I need one of those.
That makes sense thank you for sharing! Herm the overdrive guy sells them and Kaiser Willys I believe has a kit! Or if you can find someone parting out a dauntless cj5 you can pull one like I did!
Rotating brakes forward is worst-case scenario.
They're designed to primarily resist forward motion.
Thank you for watching!
Had a 1976 cj5 and it looked a lot better in John Deere green also!
Haha love it!
On my 71 with dauntless has single master
Interesting, thanks for sharing!
thank's for this video. My cj5 1977 still has 4 drum brake and it's very difficult to adjust the front ones, a pain in the neck Did you adjust or install emergency brake in this video on your jeep? I didn't see it. Anyway this is an incredible job
This model Jeep has the e brake on the transfer case. Fortunately for you disk brakes was an option in 77 you should be able to source all the stock parts! Thank you!
Question please. By using the spacers. Are u changing outwards the load center on the front end axels? Will it damage the outer non load ballbearing?
It technically does put a little more load on your wheel bearings but it’s so marginal you’ll never know!
Awesome thanks for sharing
Thank you!
BTW looking forward to seeing more videos.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you for watching!
I wonder if the master cylinder has to be changed out for disc brakes
You can upgrade to a bigger bore and a dual reservoir but the stock master cylinder works great for me! Some people use a proportioning valve and add residual pressure but I’ve not seen in issues as is. Thanks!
How did you press the old studs out? What I mean is did you cut the swedge out?
What I’ve seen only the earlier stuff was swedged. I put mine in a shop press and they came right out. I’ve seen people use a carbide hole saw to cut around the stud. Hope this helps!
Do you know anything about doing this on a 1977 Dj-5d left handed drive. Can’t find anything online for it. Would it be similar to this process?
Are the spacers necessary for the disc conversion? You are adding a lot of leverage to the bearings and possibly making the steering more difficult. Nice video, very helpful.
Newer wheels or 16” wheels sometimes clear without spacers but I’m not sure which ones to recommend. I know some people run smaller spacers than mine. Doing that studded knuckle upgrade is a good idea if you’re running spacers. Thank you!
Hi, my 1969 cj5 is lock in gear. How can I set it to neutral so that I can work on the engine?
Maybe put the transfercase in neutral? I’m not sure what your issue is?
Good video thanks
Thank you!
How to install handbrake after converting to disc brake?
The emergency brake is still on the back of the transfercase. Brennan does sell an electric e brake kit too though!
How would you go about connecting the jeep brake line to the honda brake line without the tool you put in the description? Would replacing brake lines in general be hard without it? Thanks!
At the very in of the video I show a brass fitting from autozone that converts the line from standard to metric. I think you could use stock brake lines from the hose back at that point. Thanks!
Do you not install the bearing shims with brennans kit or did you just not have any on your rear axle? Also when is the next video coming? :)
You do reuse the shins they go behind the caliper brackets same as with the drum backing plate. I think the side i showed just had one shim the other side had a pack. Good question! Hopefully in the next month or 2 I’m still moving into the new shop but I’ve got a bunch planned I can’t wait to get back to it!
did you bend and fab your roll bar ??? Im building a 1975 Jeep and want to bend a heavy gauge roll bar with heat, not much info on youtube , I don't have a tubing bender. You'r going to have a great Jeep when its finished if there is such a thing as finished.
It’s just a stock roll bar. I hope so thank you!
I just picked up a 69 5. Appears to be a low mileage with little rust. I noticed it has the exact same hood dent as yours. I wonder if that is common.
Hmmm…. Not that I’ve ever noticed but now you’ve got me thinking 🤔 Good find!
I think I'm gunna stick with the drums, I love the danger
Haha I can respect that 😂
What’s the size of the wheel studs ? The link to EBay is outdated. Thank you!
Dorman PN 610106 I believe is what I used, but I’m still wondering if there is a better option. Thank you for watching!
Great work!👏👏👏👏 Is that an old VA inspection sticker?
Thank you! Good eye 😉
would these same parts work for a 75 CJ5? I need to redo the whole brake system and I'm considering this swap
I think the axles changed to open knuckle around that time I’m not sure. Brennan should have some more information on this I would check out his website and see, thanks!
Without a power break booster how would you compare the amount of "leg pressure" to stop the jeep compared to the original drum breaks?
I feel like it’s the same pressure but when you really step on it is when you feel the difference, I hope that makes sense! Thanks!
@@SevenBarSalvage Improved stopping and pedal feel is key. The drums work fine but you have to plan ahead for your stop 😊 I have seen these disk replacement “kits” in the catalogs and have considered doing the conversion on my CJ5. But it is expensive to do all four wheels and was looking for some real world experience and feedback before spending the money…which is how I found your channel. Would you be available for more questions? Thanks for responding.
@@rusttooresurrection813 For sure hit me up on instagram or email me at seven.bar.salvage@gmail.com anytime!
👍thanks
Did you remove the residual pressure valve from the original master cylinder? I’m about to do 4 wheel disc brake conversion and am using a new stock single master cylinder but did see in the video you installing your master
My master didn’t have one I don’t think they came from the factory with them. There’s a little debate about using one or not (mainly to keep the rears from locking up before the front) I wanted to see how it worked without one and I’ve not seen a reason to add one yet. I was going to use a GM PV4 valve if I used one. Hope this helps!
Interesting, thanks.
Thank you!
I have a 74. Mine are drum
Hello, great job on the video's. I was wondering wich brake line you used for the rear brakes? It looks different from the honda accord front lines. Thanks.
I ordered the same brake lines front and back (driver and passenger is the only difference in part numbers) but I ended up getting 2 different brands for some reason so they looked a little different. I think the s10 brake lines Brennan recommends on his website are probably the best option for the rears. Hope this helps!
Should put loctite on those nut that hold the spacers on
Not a bad idea!
What lug studs are those? Your link isn’t working for me
Dorman PN 610106 hope this helps!
I do have one question. With this disc brake setup, I see no way to have a parking/ emergency brake. I know they are not a necessity but in some cases desired. Can you let us know if there is a parking brake system available? Thanks. I have a 74 CJ I'm trying to rebuild . Thanks.
In my case the e brake is on the Dana 18 transfer case. But Brennon sells an electric e brake kit. It uses his custom brackets and an off the shelf brake it’s really cool probably something I’ll add eventually! Hope this helps!
Hey, will 1.25" spacers work here? They're quite a bit cheaper. Thanks!
I think some people use as small as 1” a lot of it has to do with the wheels you’re using
@@SevenBarSalvage Thanks! I took my chances. Also, thanks for these videos, they're super helpful
@@AndyTanguay Glad to hear it!
Man, first thing I learned here...my lugs were threaded reverse! Lesson learned. @@SevenBarSalvage
@@AndyTanguay Haha yep you gotta watch out for those left hand threads!
Curious, whats a jeep of similar year and condition selling for $ ?
Maybe the 3-5k range. The more add on’s like lockers and an OD the more you can ask
Hey, I just picked up a 71 cj5 with the 225 v6 and it has the dual master with 10 inch drums all around. Just installed new master and serviced drums but the thing still doesn’t stop well, do you think converting my front brakes to disk would make a big difference even without power brakes?
I’d say changing your front to disk would make a difference. Thanks!
Is this a no go on the original 1970 dana 44. I am struggling finding info on the axel I have.
This should work on all the early dana 44’s. If it’s a 1970 it should be the same unless you have one of the rare flanged ones.
@@SevenBarSalvage gotcha that is my issue.
77 or 78 was the first year for disk
Are those wheels 15s or 16s?. Where' you get them?
15’s, they are Kelsey Hayes renegade 1 wheels that came on a special version of the cj5 crazy hard to find a set!
Hi, I am wondering if you could provide me with some of your extensive knowledge. My question is about a Saturn Overdrive in a Willys Pickup. Can I just leave my truck in overdrive all the time? If yes, can I even leave it in overdrive when backing up too. Seems crazy to keep splitting gears or using it after third gear because the truck has plenty of power with a Ford 302 and a t98 trans with 4: 88 gearing. Thanks in advance.
I have an overdrive on my cj5 and because I have a th400 I can't split gears so I always have mine in high when I'm cruising around.
As far as I know it’s made to split all gears including reverse and there should be any issue in leaving in engaged for long periods! Hope this helps!
@@SevenBarSalvage you are the man, thanks.
@@buickcj5 Thank you, someone else also said they keep it in overdrive all the time with a manual trans and it even can be keep in for reverse as well.
Just don’t use the overdrive to downshift, use the transmission to downshift. The Saturn and Warn OD’s will wear much faster if subjected to that type of pressure. The OD can be in our out when downshifting with the trans. My OD only comes out when I’m wanting to go slower at idle.

@@georgesallyclark5686 I would remove the heater core hoses and check all the fittings I bet it’s just clogged up and not flowing good!
Will this work on a 1946 CJ-2A?
It should be pretty similar! and you probably won’t have an issue with it being too short!
@@SevenBarSalvage can you explain being too short. thanks for your reply!!!!
@@bmstowell1 Sorry I’m getting videos mixed up haha everything will be the same on your 2A. You might have the swedged on wheel studs like I mentioned and you’ll need a hole saw to cut them loose to get your hubs off. Your 2A probably won’t have the brackets on the frame for brake hoses either so you can run down the axle and have 1 center hose at a “T” or make your own brackets to go from axle to frame. If you have any questions let me know!
