Default 8.8 Explorer Rear Disc brakes on a 9" live axle
I am getting ready to order the M2300G rear disc brake kit that fits a 1995-2001 Explorer to install on my 9". I understand there needs to be a .200 spacer used because the disc brake backing plate is thicker than the standard drum brake backing plate. My bearings have already been pressed on my axles and I under stand these spacers need to go between the bearing and the axle retaining plate so I was thinking about cutting the spacers in half to save the removal of the bearings. Has anyone done this before? Are any of you running the Explorer rear disc brake setup?
