WMS is Wheel Mounting Surface, which would be the face of the drum or rotor.

Stock XJ rear axles are 60" WMS-to-WMS so that's been pulled from something else.

How long did you wait? I think it took two days for my first reply, but they were in the mail two days later. Programbo is a very quick and courteous seller.

It's not that bad. Its on there tight though. Some people have the T-60 bolt and others say they dont. I bought a T-60 socket that had a 6 sided place for a wrench. 12mm wrench and a cheater bar took it lose. Then i used a gearwrench and took the bolt out. Replace o ring. Use o ring sealant to hold it in place and lube ring with a little bit of oil then replace.

Get the socket with a T-60 bit coming off of it and use a wrench and cheater pipe. No heat

Uh oh... Ideas? This is the only rusted part on the rockers. Don't wanna replace the whole thing. Don't have money to get sliders in. Can I grind it all away and put a small piece of metal there?
