changing to jeep hubs

[ryno]

Anyone know how hard it is to change a set of hubs to jeep pattern.
I want to change the ones on my camper trailer for the advantages with spare wheels etc.

Cheers

go to trailer shop buy a set of ea falcon stud patten hubs

Or to go a step further, I bought a complete new axle (with Falcon hubs) to get the track I wanted for about $220

Does not have to be EA Falcon as all Falcon's have the same 5 on 4.5" stud pattern same as the Jeep TJ, XJ and ZJ.
You do realise though that you have to change the whole break drum to do it and possibly the the backing plate and hardware too. If that 6 stud runs parallel bearings there may even be a difference in the axle ends.

Thanks guys
yeh thats what I was thinking go jeep. rang local trailer mob and he says to bring it in. Was wondering if I can do it cheaper i.e wreckers or have to go thru trailer shop.
Also anyone got ideas on electric brakes (anyone fitted them, very hard? costly?\0 , I would like to fit them considering the crappy xj ones.
Tonto did that complete axel have brakes?

No ... I should have, but didn't think of it at the time.

Depends on how long you want to wait but I will be converting to disc brakes on my trailer soon I hope so will be selling of the electric ones that have just been machined and have near new shoes and magnets and the Jeep stud pattern.
