I always love these videos that show the nuts and bolts on 50 year cars that come right apart......every single nut and bolt on my '71 Chevelle required a blow torch, hammer and sawzall to remove.....
Hahahaha same. Like it seems these shows do the job, put the stuff back on and then re do the job for the camera and every bolt breaks free with a regular size wrench or stubby ratchet handle.
Wait a minute. When you bench bled your MC you didnt even have the return tubes down in the fluid. Ummm... lol At any rate, thanks for making this video. Really helpful.
What I want to know that no one has ever answered is if you have the distribution block that was originally mounted on the frame under the car how do you connect the brake lines to the new proportioning valve located on the master cylinder?
@@georgearce5098 No I never got an answer. I just mounted my proportioning valve in the original spot and ran lines that were preformed like the originals. I think I got them from Ecklers.
Hello I have the same brake caliper set up and after i install the caliper and spin the rotor. The outer brake pad rattles, like its loose. how do I correct this?
P Jack I purchased these rattle clips that were recommended for my nova. But im not sure how to install. I know that the bigger size are for the inner pads but im not sure how to install the smaller clips. Any ideas? shop.advanceautoparts.com/wcsstore/CVWEB/staticproductimage//2566/large/22141334_rnb_26210_pri_larg.jpg
I know this is an OLD Post but Someone may have the Same Question- if the OUTER PAD is Loose in the Caliper(and Moves) then the Top Tabs need to be Slightly Bent by Tapping with A Hammer, Until the Pad is Snug in the Caliper.
No it won't work on the Impala but this kit will piratejack.net/1965-68-chevy-impala-power-disc-brake-kit-black-wilwood-calipers-master/ We have other kits in our store for just about any build.
Parts are from MBM, my kit had standard rotors that were junk, the rear races were off center and one was not seated, very dangerous! No help from MBM! Had to purchase good rotors to complete job!
Stefan Bogunovic you can modify the old spindle by cutting .6 of an inch off the top boss and it'll clear the caliper bracket. poor mans methods that'll get the job done.
The car already has its own brake lines. You hook those up to the new components. If you need new brake lines, you can purchase them as a kit. I’ve yet to see a kit that includes everything in this video plus the brake lines.

Will this kit change the offset

Did you get your answer? I'm curious, I have a 64 A body with power drum brakes.

Great how to, Thanks.
I just installed and it spun freely but when I installed the brake caliper it doesn’t spin freely it grinds when I spin the rotor what do i do
Question I'm quite new to this stuff so I can use the stock brake lines in 4 disk brakes in a 93 Silverado
Got anything for rear disc conversion kits for a 75 el Camino?

alex e by putting the new spindle on
Hello I have the same brake caliper set up and after i install the caliper and spin the rotor. The outer brake pad rattles, like its loose. how do I correct this?
Sounds like you are missing a brake pad clip. They hold the pads in place so they don't rattle. Also sometimes called anti rattle clip....

What do I check for if the disc does not spin freely
Loosen the castle nut 1/4 turn on your spindle.
my dust shield rubs on my lower control arm so cant finish. why? 68 camaro disc brakes all new parts
Shouldnt need it, or trim it.
Any options for a 65 Chevy corvair? I'm having trouble finding any info on disc to rotor kit for corvairs
Dustin Garcia corvair.com or California corvair parr’s.com
Anything on rear disk brake conversions for 76 Camaro?
Sure do! We have drilled/ slotted or standard rotor kits. Give us a ring let's help you out. 866-601-4455
did you have to torque anything
Yes. All torque specs are in the install manual when you buy the kit. Hope that helps!
Would this kit work on a 1967 Impala?

You can't use the old spindle when doing a conversion kit. You will need to change out your spindle to a discbrake spindle.
+P Jack -if that is the case then why do they sell kits without the spindles
Stefan Bogunovic you can modify the old spindle by cutting .6 of an inch off the top boss and it'll clear the caliper bracket. poor mans methods that'll get the job done.

I'm a little surprised that you don't use torque wrenches.
I need a kit to update the front brakes on my 1973 Ford Van.
Where did you guys get the kit from?
first time i am pretty good at it
Love polka music
It would help if you torque the damn thing down
Can you remix to eliminate that worthlessly loud filler MUSIC?
Seems that they don't answer questions from viewers.
Thats when you say to yourself if they dont care about there customers you shouldnt care about there product and look else where!
They did not hook up any brake lines to the car, That was at least an incomplete kit. The way they left it there would be no brakes at all.
