dont see there being a problem either way

will buy a 2nd hand motor this week and see how it looks

be sure to let us all no how the sierra cam works


cheers...

plenty of meat on there


haha kiddin yeh its a bit on the thin side tez but it will have to do for now

its off



ok so first thanks to brayden for his info

after a bit of a bang with a rubber mallet the drum was of

so here is the difference between stock 155/80/12 and 165/60/14 not much at all parklands mx 008.JPG it wont pull very well so will it struggle up hills and with a load and low in the revs with the 175 70 14? but at say 90-100kph the rev's should still be around the peak torque with big tyres should...

(8.65%). yeh thats what im arfter


do you guy's think this will put to much stain on the f10a


i think my f10a will have no trubles with 175 70 14 tyres


i will chuck em on and see how it goes

There's no castle nut (big nut) holding the assembly together. The drum is held on by the wheel and the driveshaft is held in by the brake backing plate (and the press-fit bearing). If you're only inspecting the brakes then all you need to remove is the drum though. thanks brayden that clears every...

I reckon thats a good question for Dave at SuziAuto. yeh me two i was ment to ask him last time i was there(last week) but forgot to... i will give him a call and see what he thinks it would be great if we could get better diff gearing in these carry's.and im sure there would be guy's out there wit...

will sierra diff gears go into a carry

sierra has 4.11 gears

carry has 5.12 gears



cheers...

Sorry I've got myself confused between Carry and MB. For the Carry once you take the wheel off and release the hand brake the drum will just slide off the studs. It might need some persuasion with a rubber mallet but that's it. You need the slide hammer/loose wheel to pluck the driveshaft after tha...

woops, thought it was lakeside in qld haha, sorry wont be making that lol. Cheers Brayden ahahaha yeh me to :oops: sorry guys should have read it properly :snigger: i will not be driving the van that far ever again i took the van from brisbane to bathurst and back to brissy and god dam it was a mar...

haha

nice one mini kompressor

Once you've got the wheel off you need a slide hammer to get the drum off - and don't forget to chock the front wheels and leave the handbrake off. If you don't have a slide hammer you can put the wheel on very loosely and give it a few tugs. That usually pulls the drum off. There isn't a "hub...

They'll fit, but will knock the guts out of the engine. I noticed a massive difference in acceleration just going from 12" to 13" with 175/65/13 yeh acceleration isnt a big factor for me i just wont more top end. i just thought that with such short gearing in the carry big tyres on the ba...

so according to suziauto f10a sierra/carry is the same except for sump, pickup, cam and tappet cover so the option of using a chinese made f10a is the best option. now i will definately swap the sump, pickup and tappet cover on. if i dont swap the cam, will i run into fueling issues due to differen...

ill be there to have a look
