How to do a rear disc brake conversion on a Willys era Jeep

We'll show you what it takes and how to do a Willys era Dana 44 rear disc brake conversion.

Follow along as we replace an outdated drum brake set up on and old Willys Jeep platform and we upgrade it to a disc brake configuration with a conversion kit purchased through Kaiser Willys.

We'll show you what the kit consists of and how all of the components fit together to upgrade an old style of braking system to a better performing, modernized disc version. The complete kit comes with all of the major components needed to complete the job but there were a few small items we did have to address along the way to make the kit work and function as it was designed.

We hope this will help you if you are considering a disc brake conversion for your Willys era Jeep.
