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
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.
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
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
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?
@@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.....
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.
This is the most comprehensive video for a Wilwood brake install. And that includes the Wilwood brake videos as well. Great job guys!
Always thought safety wire makes bolts look like a work of art 👍🏻
Very true!
Beautiful, detailed and funny explanation. Thank you.
Very good tutorial!
Thanks a lot!
Great video. But how about the emergency brake cable and adjustment of the shoes?
Perfect video!
Glad you liked it
Thanks for the amazing videos 😊

Just out of curiosity, why didn’t you change the outer seals and bearings since the axles were out?
That was though too.
Every single time a axle came out. Those outer seals where changed
My pads are not aligned so my rotor wont go on how do i adjust the pads so the rotor goes on???? Great video
The description would have been a nice place to put the part numbers for the Brake line adapters and the new parking brake link kit.
A link to the special pliers would have been great but google was all over it. Speedway $45
Harbor freight $9.99!!!
Good morning
Why my wilwood caliper doesn’t line up with the rotor? I have a 10 bolt 8.5 axle

Do I need proprtioning valve?
on a 1984 C10
My directions say put the 3/8-24 bolt in from the back
Anything for a 3rd gen CAmaro 14" wheel rear drum replacement?
So where do I get the special tool for the monkey diddle with the wire?
Hello, will this kit work on my '86 K-10? If not, to you have options for my K-10 (6 lug)?

I would contact Wilwood and ask them.
Question!! what are the availability of replacement parts such as E-brake shoes and pads? As nothing lasts forever
Actually unless you drive with the ebrake off the assembly will last 20-30 years. The pad material will rot before it wears out.

Could you direct us how to modify our stock c10 e brake pedal to work with the wilwood e brake cables?
Would this work on 10 bolt 2 ton/C60 GM trucks 1973-1988 ?
How do you get that C clip back on the axel?
Magnet, set it in place then have someone pull the axle out.
@@Hated_Sien thank you sir
Does the C clip need to go back in whenever puting your axle back in to the differential?
Only if you want to keep your wheels and axles on the truck while you are driving. 👍
Will this kit fit the rear 8 lug 3/4 ton diff on c10 ??
Can i use calipers of 4 pistons on the rear and calipers of 6 pistons on the front?
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.

Do they fit on 1995 S10 chevy truck?
Did you use the original park brake cable? Or did you have to modify it.
I had to modify them and get wilwood cables then changed a couple things to get them to work with the factory brake.
The part they never cover in the video.
Didn't read all the comments but would suggest changing the axel seal. Spend that $3 on a new one.
What rear end is on it ???
Would've been better just buy a rear disc brake conversion kit
Seems like a lot of messing around? Isn’t there a factory performance brake system that would work well with the 73 to 87 spindles/hubs?
Just grab the drum and it’ll pull right off.
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?
its the same kit for a 5 or 6 lug/
?
you will have to check with your axle housing and talk with wilwood
Will this fit my 1985 c10 Chevy pu
You will have to check with wilwood on your rear axle specifications
will that backing plate work for 85 c10 2wd?
Does wildwood have a kit for D60 rear for a 6 bolt by 6.5" int pattern...? Or a undrilled hat..?
they probably do give them a call they should be able to help you out.
@@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.....
Very good directional video although I would have put POR 15 on it instead of paint.
Should’ve replaced that wheel bearing while you were in there.
Please for the love of God. Show people how to back off the slack adjusters so they aren't breaking the drums off!!!
Doesn’t anyone else think it’s weird that they can’t make bolts that don’t need this “wiring.” I would never buy this system.

Nicely said sir.

Jet engines are wired like this…it’s a fail safe system
