    Hello everybody, I live in Georgia and recently purchased a 70 CJ5 with the dauntless V6. I just received my front disk brake conversion kit from parts dude. I am in the process of pulling the hub/drum assembly off. There is a washer with Allen screws which only appears to have 3, but there are two other holes which may or may not have had allen screws in them. I can't tell if the two holes were threaded or not because it looks like the PO had trouble getting this off due to the damage. Can anyone help verify if this is the case, wanted to ask before I break out the drill. Thanks

    Thanks for the response, so I should assume it is threaded on then? Here are a couple of pics of the CJ5

    Nice Jeep. The set screws are just to lock the nut . it will spin off once you back the set screws out.

    I appreciate everyone's comments. I got a great deal on this, it had been sitting in a barn for several years and didn't take much to get her running. The brakes are shot, which is why I decided to go ahead with the disk conversion. I have spent a lot of time researching on this forum over the past week. Lots of good information.
