    300 tdi axle swap

    could i just swap over my 2.5 td axles for 300 tdi defender ones? the difference being the splines? also the 300tdi ones have rear discs and mine have drums, how easy is it to change this over if swapping full rear axle? is it just a matter of changing break pips on calipers? cheers for any replys!!
