Hello im going to be lowering my panel van 3 half in all round . If i do this job myself how long will this take . was just thinking do i need to take the rear hub nut of to fit horseshoe plates and what size is the nut Thanks Simon
Thats good to hear the front is Not à problem just looking at the horseshoes this might make me sound thick but how do i fit them any pics would be great Thanks Simon
Take the four bolts out that hold the hub to the springplate. The hub assembly is heavy. Fit the horseshoes between the hub and the springplate. You have to drill a hole in the springplate for the handbrake cable. Google is your friend. The handbrake cable hole/notch look too low to me. Be aware that the springplate holes are in fact slots so you can adjust the tracking. i.e. you have to set the tracking as you go and be prepared to spend some time doing this. A good start point is to put a straightedge across the wheel/drum horizontally parallel with the sill, then look from underneath to get them approx in line with the sills. Then wheels on, down on the floor, check with tracking guages and adjust to spec.
