Just wanted to share with you guys some pics from my weekend project.

Ebc Rotors for the front:

Goodridge Lines on the rear:

Finished Front:


Hopefully, when I save up enough money I will probally convert the rear to disk, but I need to save enough for the H first.

Looks good man! how much did everything cost?

 

Looks great! How difficult was it to do?

 

Well I am glad that my dad could help and that is he in the body shop business. Helps with the costs a bit. It was about 350 for front rotors, new shoes for the rear drum, ebc green pads, and the goodridge lines. We had a few problems with the install. Those axel nuts sure get tight on there, wow. We had to put a bigger line on the air compressor and use penetrate fluid to loosen thoughs nuts. We also broke a 1/2 drive rachet, lol. But other then that not bad.

 

what brand was the 1\2 inch drive ratchet that broke if you dont mind me asking??

oh and looks great BTW

 

Thanks, the ratchet wasnt anything great, but we replaced it with a nice craftsmen so I guess we have a better one now.

 

I snapped my Craftsman 1/2 on mine and it was 1 yr old with about 800 hrs of use on it.

Make sure you retork those to 160 FT lbs. That is what they are suppose to be. That is why so many have issues with removing them.

What did you use to remove the hub?

That would be an interesting write up as there are many of people asking to see that.

Thanks for the sweet pics. Looks great. ^5 on job well done.

Major BUMP

 

Yea, the hub also wasnt that fun to get off. Well first we didnt know about the 4, 12 point bolts behind the dust shield. Once we figured that out we thought the hub would come off, no. We actually used a knocker that is used for body work to tap all around until the hub came off, it wasnt easy though, and it was probally not the best way. If anyone else knows a better way to get the hub off that would be cool.

 

I would love to know how to get those suckers off, I have to replace a stud that the ******** at the clutch doctors stripped. Thats what I get for not doing my own clutch. Nice job on the brake job man, looks nice.

 

Clean wagon, lovin those brakes

 

Thanks guys, hopefully at the end of the year I will have enough money to drop the H in and convert it to manual. Anyone else know a good way to get hubs off?

 

Use a slide hammer or long bolts and work it off. That is the best way I have found.

Then you have to watch it as some of them have a retaining E clip in the rear. Most don't though. Best to look at the bread down of them on:
