This is a
very simple bolt on kit that consists of GM rotors (modified) GM calipers brackets, and
brake lines. The vehicle involved is a 71 FJ-40.
Put the
rig on jackstands and remove the tires. Then remove the diff cover and drain oil. Then
remove the C-Clips and slide the axleshafts out.
Take the
six bolts that hold the brake backing plate to the housing off and remove the backing
plate. Disconnect the brake lines.
Using the the bolts supplied with the
kit, bolt the caliper brackets onto the inside axle flange. The calipers should mount
towards the rear of the Cruiser.
Slide the axle shafts back into the housing, and slide the rotor onto the axle shaft.
Put a couple of lug nuts on to hold the rotor in place. Attach the caliper to the bracket
using the supplied bolts, and then thread the brake lines on.
Put the
clips back on the axles, replace the diff cover, and fill with gear oil. Put the tires
back on, bleed the lines, and that's it! The approx price for the complete conversion is
$500.
