Re: HELP!!! Disc brake swap going horribly awry!!!

...well....

1....the rotors I have, have integral races and I didn't know that (it was the heat getting to me.....yeah that's it ).

2....the bearings I had were for a non HD brake equipped truck, so I needed different bearings. I saved the boxes so I could record the part numbers for my records.

3....A knuckle dragger like myself undertook this project and didn't check parts quality/compatibility on everything before I started on the swap. After 1.75 days of work it's still not done because of all the lost time due to running around to exchange parts. I still need to bench bleed the MC, run the hard lines/prop valve, connect the hoses, and bleed the system.



So really it's a whole lot of, "I'm an idiot."
