saxo drums interchangeable?

[drnick]

Are all saxo rear drums the same size? Need to convert a 3 stud car to 4 stud & wondering for the rears can i just swap the drums over? They will be going from a 1.4 on to a 1.1 both from p reg'd cars. thanks

you can swap the drums between axles, there are 4 torx type bolts that hold the drum to the swing arm, un do those and the drum will come off.

you will most likely need the stub axle too, but they are simple to swap, all you need is a lump hammer (and a block of wood to protect the stub axle) to knock them out of the swing arm.

would be just as easy to swap the whole axle though, only held on with 4 bolts through the boot floor and under the back seats. 4 stud axle may well have befier torsion bars and anti roll bar as a bonus.
