Excellent job ! 👍🏻
Excellent presentation, anyone installing axles be a little gentle installing them…lube up the axle and inner seals if you have them. Pulling all this apart because a seal is torn…ain’t no fun.
Fantastic system
It is a great kit. Thanks!
Right around the 4:55 mark, you talk about pushing the pad away from the axle and bending the outer tab. That isn't a SOMETIMES. That is designed to be bent to pinch the pad tight to the caliper and keep the pad from rattling and falling into the rotor while cruising. To do this properly, you need to use the caliper piston to put pressure on the pads which sets them in place. Then with a short pry bar and a chiseled hammer, you pry the pad out. Engage the caliper and hammer the tab toward the caliper. In that order and keeping some pressure on the pads with the caliper. This is done on the bottom tab as well and on both sides.
Nice video but if you are willing to weld brake line brackets ! cut off the shock mount and move it inboard
Thanks for the video
👍
Thanks for your tutorial, i hope i can install it for my toyota
Most Disc brake manuals say to mount the hardware on the opposite side of the shocks. It looks like there is very little clearance to mount your shocks.
God blesses him as I do to turn one of nissan patrol g60 of drums on brakes disc
🤣🤣🤣🤣uhuuuu nice work I will be going to do the same well done
Great Sir

I need a kit like this for my 1993 ranger
I am having clearance issues with my shock and leaf springs because of having to relocate the shock mount. Can I switch the "clock" location of the caliper bracket to be towards the front of the bronco so it is out of the way of the shock and leaf springs.
Do you make a rear disk conversion kit the same, but that bolts up/on to a 76 f100. Thanks
excenlente tutorial
good vidéo
Mentioning the shock issue prior to installation might be a good idea. Theres not enough clearance to install the bolt after the install.
Hi Dave. I believe the confusion is that our tech held the shock bolt the wrong direction (see the 7:18 mark) which does make the bolt impossible to install. The bolt should have been aimed in the opposite direction. Sorry for the error in the video and thanks for pointing it out.
@@TomsOffroad76 The other more lengthy fix is to have the shock mounts relocated inward, but it's a better fix!
Tenk good jop
Not all kits out there come with that bolt and spacer for the shock relocation. Be prepared.
They opening on the caliper bracket isn't wide enough to get pass the axle on my 1973 ford f100. Any suggestions
Could U not just install them in the 10 or 11 o'clock position instead of the 2 or 3 o'clock & not have problems with the shock? I perfer the front position more anyway.
I'm sure the caliper could be mounted in front of the axle housing and it would function. The problem that would be created is the emergency brake cable would then have to be installed from the rear of the vehicle into the caliper. This would force the cable to make a 180 degree turn to then mount in the factory mount under the body tub. The cables would have to be much longer than the current cables while also making a gradual bend so to not damage the cable housing rapidly. If longer cables were used, it could be possible, and routed properly. We feel that the rear mounting position is better suited for the Bronco application, primarily for the cable routing positioning.
where is this kit sold--I need I=one for the old style -rear-thanks good video

Awesome video! Thank you very much.👍🏽🇺🇸
I have 31x18.5 x15Lt---will wheel slide over the caliper----it will have to be in wheel about 7 inches thanks-I ordered kit -but never asked this question---thanks
Hi Phil. Sorry just saw this comment. Hopefully you called or emailed us and we got you straightened out. It will depend on the backspacing of your wheels whether they will fit over the caliper without wheel spacers. Typically a 3.5" backspace on a 15" wheel should clear.
Hey there, I am not able to get my calipers sit close to the rotors to have brakes. I have tried multiple permutation combinations but it's not working. Any suggestions?
I got a 92 Ford bronco. Been looking at these kits but not sure if it would fit. I got a 8.8 rear. Would it fit?
I wanted to ford ranger 2016 installation is certainly possible?
Does anyone make this style bracket for gm 12 bolt? Specifically the two part bracket?
This kit its the front or the back disc brakes and this kit can work with a F100 1979?
This kit is for rear disc brakes. Most of the kit should work for your 79 F100 but you will need to modify the brake hard lines and maybe a couple more minor modifications.
Does this kit work with 15inch wheels?
You can run it with 15in wheels. However, you may have to run wheel spacers depending on the wheel.
Do you sell just those parking brake cables or have a part number?
Yes, we do offer these. For the rear disc conversion, the part #'s are 2725D & 2730D. Here are links: www.tomsbroncoparts.com/product/parking-brake-cable-driver-w-rear-disc-kit-new & www.tomsbroncoparts.com/product/parking-brake-cable-passenger-w-rear-disc-kit-new
Is it possible to convert Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 1983 rear drum brakes to disk brakes on the same principle? What if "E Brake" is not a possibility?
shouldnt the bleeder be lower than the hose?
No, air will rise, if it was lower you'd have one hell of a time bleeding the system.
Man it seems like a big headache! Ground down grade 8 bolts, two brackets per brake side, 1-2 or 3 spacers for brackets, grind down the brake pad to avoid rotor hub contact, relocate factory shock to the inside of the lower shock bracket exposing it to more rocks in the pumpkin-less alley as well as leveraging on the bracket. People that notice the shock WILL comment on it. Then there is brake lines hanging down on the bottom like rock and road debris magnets! It is great for the DYI'er but this is not practical for true or even occasional off roaders! It just seems like this kit was designed as you ran into issues then you did this, then you added that because this did not fit so you had to do that, not well planned!!!
Just mount the disc kit on the opposite side of the shocks. Don't relocate the shock mounts. Look at the Summit Racing manual. It says to mount calipers on the opposite side of axle of the shocks.
LOL ! The long ass bolt to move the shock over? No thanks...
We have actually done this for many years along with the other Bronco parts suppliers. The bolt is grade 8 and has plenty of strength. You can always move your shock mounts instead, but for those who don't want to modify their housing the long bolt is the best option.
That brake kit needs to go in the bin, looks like a 12 year old designed it.
This is a good video but, do you think you could do a vid on an actual Bronco? I think it would help a lot of us out.
This is an actual Bronco rear end, so installation is just like this. Having the diff off the Bronco gives us the ability to show everything more clearly, but installation is the same if the diff is hanging on the Bronco.
@@TomsOffroad76 What are the specifications of the kit. I mean what do the rotors measure? 5.5 ? 4.75? Thanks👍🏼
