[WTB] Parts for rear disc swap
My rear drums are going to need replaced soon (the pads are worn out) and instead of replacing the pads I was thinking of doing the rear disc swap. So, if anyone has any parts laying around that I can use for the rear disc swap let me know!
Thanks a lot!!

It really doesn't take much effort to go to your local pick-a-part and grab all you need. Take a friend, a couple tools, and about a 100 bux and you're golden. Plus you have the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself!

I have a set of spindles, cables, and even the GS Master cylender. I pulled the spindles off of a car in the junk yard. You might want new discs and pads.

yeah I can do that, though when you get a rusted bolt or something.. UGH! .93SOHC wrote:It really doesn't take much effort to go to your local pick-a-part and grab all you need.

but yeah I guess I can do that. I need the whole rear right? And the brake lines/master cylinder?
edit:
and obviously i'll need brake pads, rotors, and calipers

and ebrake cables. Its as easy as taking out the 2 lateral link bolts, 4 subframe bolts, and the lines and cables.

more than 6.
4 off the rear subframe, 4 off the two struts, and 2 bolts off of the trailing arms. Pull the clips off the brake lines and disconnect them from the rear subframe and let them hang. Also take the bolt off the lil coupler box. Then also, a bolt and nut off each e-brake cable, remove the exhaust heat shield and take off the ebrake cables.
Then it all goes back together.
Should be easy unless you hurt your back, and can't get the old discs off to put new ones on... then it might take you awhile. And then you wake up in the morning and realize you put your slotted rotors on the wrong way!!! DOH!
