Re: 14 bolt conversion to disc questions/options

There are tools similar to toggle bolts to remove axle bearings when you aren't pulling the diff out of the pumpkin.
You can rent a slide hammer for $0 plus a deposit from The Borg (O'Riley AutoZone etc)

Dual piston calipers are one of many reasons to use the 10.5" AAM out of a T800.
