For as great as willwood is 2 piece rotors seems like a headache. Some good 1piece drilled and slotted are going to be just fine for a project but a great informational video nonetheless. Thanks man
This was a great install video. The only criticism is the annoying music playing in the background which is distracting and makes it sometimes difficult to hear. Also I was hoping to see the reinstall of the emergency brake assembly or was it just removed completely?
Have you ever came across a 12 bolt rearend that didn't have the 4 bolts on the axle ends holding the flange? I have a 12 bolt axle that I'm trying to do the disc conversion but when I got to the part of unbolting flange I saw it didn't have the 4 bolts rather the flange has splines holding it in place to the end of axle end housing.
Actually unless you drive with the ebrake off the assembly will last 20-30 years. The pad material will rot before it wears out. E brake is to keep the vehicle from moving not stopping it so in theory it should never wear. Doing breaks at a Midas years ago for a long time and never seen any go bad and I live in MN where rust is a promise.
I purchased a complete coil over system from QA1 and while I install everything on my 65 C10 I want to convert to the 5on5 axle and rear disc brakes. I’m having a horrible time finding a video addressing this subject. This either is way easy and nobody has a problem with this conversion or it’s a dumb idea and nobody does it. I don’t understand
What did you use for a proportioning valve from Disc/drum to disc/disc with this kit im installing this kit on my 87 gmc and they dont really say what valve to use and if you happen to have a part number it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help and another great video!!!!
None of the videos anywhere show the proportioning valve or master cylinder. Same with online. Looking to add rear disks to my el Camino and there isn’t any info anywhere
It is simply a mechanical safety to make sure your brakes don't fall off. I guess you don't have to put it in and just rely on torque. The bottom line is the heat cycles a rotor has the potential to see mean that locktite and even lock washers can fail. This system won't fail unless someone cuts that wire.
Safety wire is actually just a indication of broken torque. It won’t actually keep it tight, as much as it would brake and allow you to see that torque has broken visually.
@@CJClassicTrucks just got their response....no undrilled hats. Or 6 on 6.5 ....suggest I switch to 5 bolt and use their calipers.... So I will hit the wall and make my own hats or re-drill.....
