Hello, my name is Adam.
I'm from Poland. Thank you for adding me to the forum AULRO.
My father in law has Alvis Stalwart Mk2.
I'm looking for maintenance instructions for dismantling brake disks in Alvis Stalwart Mk, 2 (FV 622) vehicle.
Thanks for help.

Adam,

MLU Forum might be a better avenue of enquiry.

You need to talk to 101 Ron who also has one.

Here is his thread on the work he has been doing

Hi Adam.
I think I have seen a PIC of your Stalwart on another forum showing badly worn disc rotors.
The disc rotor and the hub are one piece and expensive and labour intensive to replace.

[101 Ron]

New wheel stations are available in the UK at a great price and at 250 KG each will not be cheap to freight to Poland.
Workshop manuals are available on line for free.
Even with workshop manuals these machines are not easy to work on until you understand the engineering in them which is very different from an ordinary truck.

I will guess again and say your Stalwart is the one which I have seen on you tube at a place by the sea and has wind mills...called something like. DALVO.......?....a yearly military vehicle meet and play in Poland.
It was driven hard though much thick ,deep mud for a few years,enough to wear out the disc rotors.

[101 Ron]

To replace the disc rotors with hub separately would require more work.
Finding the rotor as a separate part it think would be impossible and it is a better job to replace the wheel stations as unit as they are full of special seals and parts that need special tools and knowledge to pull a part and reassemble.

The Saracen and Saladin based on a similar chassis used different brakes being a very early form of disc and the other drums should interchange as a complete wheel station unit.
Another option would to find another dead rusty Stalwart for parts.
