Snap/brake ring part number, 2.7TD

[Liam]

Hello again, been off the site for a while but back again now!! Does anyone have a Nissan or Maverick part number for the snap/brake rings. Nissan dealer is confused as their diagrams are crap. Any help appreciated.

do not know about part numbers, but the snap rings I would call the drive shaft circlip, and they come in different sicknesses, and the brake rings are the fixed one on the hub and the rotating one on the auto locking part, but the other main culprit is the inner splined part that has wings that break off, I have some hubs stripped out at the mo, if you would like pics I can do them and post tomorrow eve, Rick

 

[(RIP) PLANK]

i remember posting on this years ago, there are two different part numbers, an early one and a late one (on a TD) i can't remember now though, sorry :nenau

This pic show's the main components that give trouble, you can see the wings missing on the lower centre part as compared to a good one on the left (still in its housing) top centre is the snap ring this holds the drive shaft in the hub and the fixed brake ring (upper right) there are two more washers not shown, the rotating brake ring lower right is another part that fails, they get distorted like this one and so when sat inside the fixed ring it rocks and does not seat properly, I have not been successful in re forming these as yet, also the wings on these can break off, if you look in the down loads there is a Max and Min dimension for the overall thickness of the two brake rings when put together, cannot even measure these two as too deformed, hope this helps, Rick

It's the two rings on the right of Rick's photo that come as a pair from dealers. The lower one is the one that causes the problems, the lugs crack and break off. The manual shows the exploded view so any dealer worth his salt should be able to sort it out from there. I didn't know there was a difference in age of the rings but that doesn't mean that there isn't a difference. Expect to pay around £40 to £50 for a set to repair one side.

If you do replace the "Brake Rings" then also give the hub a good service as per the workshop in the downloads section.

I gave up on my auto lockers and fitted manuals instead, some people don't like them but they've never caused me a problem but I only use 4wd once a blue moon anyway.

Thanks for the pictures Rick, my problem is something different, it is a ring with teeth, picture attached.

Ah that is one of the washers I did not bother to photo as never given any trouble, PM me your address and I will send you one, Rick

I was quoted £61.00 plus vat today, so will rob one of my scrappers they are all a little worn in one way or another but I am not paying that price, Rick

Let me guess, you couldn't get all the parts back on so you tried hitting that part with a hammer ? I had several of those after my first terrano, until I was told you need to be very careful not to push the drive shaft in through the hub when refitting the parts.:doh
