Rear Disc question... BC Broncos

[Mark]

The notch on the disc is supposed to line up with the access hole on the axle flange. Does this look like it will give me enough?
This is a Moser 35 spline axle, and a rear Cadillac disc conversion (both purchased from BC Broncos).

(What's up with the missing thumbnails?)

The holes are to give you access to the mounting brackets/bear retainers on the axle tube and line up with stock axles. But since BCB provides allen bolts, you may have enough room to get a long allen wrench thru to tighten them. OR...cut down an "L" allen to get it from the backside.

Well, the instructions have the allen heads going head side in from the rear - so it'd be a nut you'd be looking at through the access hole.
Chuck said "as long as you can get a socket in it, then you'll be fine."
Well, pondering this, and not wanting to get everything together and then have to pull everything and dislodge the wheel studs to make it larger, I just notched it larger now.

BTW, won't it be a pain in the ass to replace the rotor in the future?
It's on the inside of the axle flange with wheel studs pressed through it.

OOOPS...your right. Nuts on the inside. But cant remember if it makes a diff??? Kiss it with a grinder to give you clearance for a socket .

Cant remember the last time I serviced a rear drum or disk (my Camry has 244000 miles and NEVER had to touch the rear brakes). This should be a life time thing cept for the odd break down, but this could be said about any part on the old beast
