think it will be cheaper and easier to just buy a 2nd hand rear disc beam tbh.

4 torx bolts , 2 flexi pipes , 2 hand brake cables , 2 ABS sensor plugs
you will NEED 2 new hand brake cables for a DISK beam and i would recommend 2 new flexi pipes
main problem is making sure you get the right axle with the right ABS plugs as if you get the wrong one your abs light will be on and abs will not work.

you could.
go to where your buying it from and jack up the rear of your car , take the back wheels off and while your axle is still on your car lie the new axle underneth the back of the car and plug in the abs plugs and then turn the ignition on and see if the abs light comes on.
if the ABS light is on its no good to you
