Oh god i cant believe that its so clean

I am afraid to open mine with all the mud and water that is coming from inside. Anyone knows which brake discs can be used for the rear wheels of feroza (can i use front brakes of a Feroza to the rear)?

Is there some trick to getting the rear drums off (apart from having the handbrake off...)?

Some idiot has kindly stripped the threads in the drums on both sides so I can't screw a bolt into the two holes to "jack" them off. Last time I got them part way, but it felt like they had a decent groove (from the shoe wearing?) and they got jammed part way off on the shoes?

(BTW have I mentioned how much I HATE drum brakes......

)

I use a big strong flathead screwdriver and work my way around and side to side for a few mins. Would be much easier with 2 big strong screwdrivers but i keep forgetting to buy a second

Are Do Feroza wheels fit Rocky's?

If so then Suzuki Samurai Brake discs will fit the rear.

Yes, wheels from Feroza, F100s and Suzuki's fit a Rocky.

Is it that simple.. if the wheel studs are the same, you can use the brakes?

No its not that simple. You would have to make sure that the disc will clear the hub, as well as fit over the studs. You then need to make a caliper mount that will hold the fairly heavy load of the braking system, mount the caliper, make new hard lines/possibly soft lines as well. Correct brake bias (remember that disc and drum use different fluid capacitys) then fab a handbrake mechanism up. All this has to be strong enough and safe enough to trust your life, as well as anybody elses with.

Funny that you know wheels from a zook will fit a rocky Nick. Post up some pics.

I didn't think it was that simple for a brake conversion Layto...

I'm at uni... but tonight I will post some pics of Zook rims on a Rocky

*EDIT
This is how 32" TSL Super Swamper SX's with 15x8 rims with -28mm offset look on an IFS Rocky
