Hello, I own a 89 Tipo 1.6 DGT. I was planning to bolt the rear discs off a Lancia Delta which I had lying around. But after taking off the rear wheel I have just found out that Fiat had completely redesigned the whole hub assembley of their eighties cars.
I now plan on making a mount for the caliper out of steel and the disc should bolt to the existing hub no problems.
I tried unbolting the hub so I can get the drum brakes off and do the necessary measurements but I can't get the thing off. I am using a 32mm socket on the back of the stub axle as opposed to using a mother of a large allen key on the other side. No matter how big the power bar the nut doesn't move. I thought their might be a chance that it is welded to the suspention arm, would I have better luck buying the allen key and trying from that side, or does the nut have to be removed before the allen bolt can turn?
