67 Cheby's CPP big brake kit step by step !

[67cheby]

CPP was great enough to sponsor my truck this great BIG BRAKE kit, so in return i want to share how easy an upgrade it is ! Now i did have the CPP 4 wheel disc brake kit on my truck already so this is just an upgrade to their BIG BRAKE system , i will do a step by step through the whole rear kit first and then next week the front set up ! please hold comments until everything is posted then i will be happy to answer any questions i can ! Thanks, first picture is current set up !

next, remove the 2 bolts holding the caliper on , and remove the brake line

[67cheby]

after the caliper is removed you are now free to take the rotor off of the hub , next step remove the 3 bolts holding your caliper bracke in place ! you are now ready to install your new brake system !

[67cheby]

Now comes the pretty part installing the new CPP Big Brake kit , with e-brake and , cross drilled and slotted rotors ! These pics are what is included in the rear kit ! very nice stuff, labeled good with great instructions !

[67cheby]

There is an assortment of spacers so this kit can be used in several different applications, so step one is i put the rotors on the hub and snugged 2 nuts down to hold it in place so we could figure out how many spacers to use to center the caliper up !

[67cheby]

First install the T shaped bolts to hold your bracket and spacers , I started by dividing the spacers in half and put all of them on each side

[67cheby]

after sliding on the caliper bracket and snugging it up we are ready to test fit the caliper ! the spacers you see laying on the ground are the ones i had to take out to get the caliper to fit the rotor right !

[67cheby]

next step with the 2 supplied bolts bolt your caliper in place and ..... SET BACK AND JUST STARE !!....that's what i did anyway !! LOL

[67cheby]

CLEAN...BEAUTIFUL, EASY setup !! LAST STEP throw those pretty wheels on and set back and stare some more...oh and take PICTURES !

[67cheby]

This is all for today, coming up i will add the stainless brake lines and the e-brake cables ! Stay tuned !

Did you have to turn down the center or hub total diameter of your original 6-lug axles?
That's the part that most brake companies don't tell you, up front.

Keith, they fit perfect ! no machining at all !

[lolife99]

I must be thinking of the 5-lug kits, since their rotor hats are double drilled with the smaller 5x4.75 car pattern also.
I'm sure McGaughy's rear disc brake kits require machine work on the axle.

Your CPP kit looks very nice!

thanks Keith, it is a very nice kit , quite a simple install !

Looks good Mike, those brakes in the first pic sure look familiar! BTW, following this thread will help when I do mine although I'm not replacing disk with disks so there will be some difference.

[67cheby]

just let me know if you need any help !

CPP BIG BRAKE....part 2....FRONT 13 Inch rotors cross drilled and slotted with dual piston capilers !! The first few pictures include a few extra steps (CPP ships this kit completely put together) I took the kit apart , smoothed and painted my spindles

[67cheby]

Here we go , slide the hub onto the spindle, make sure you line up the key way on the washer and the slot in the spindle , next install the castle nut snug enough that you can insert the cotter pin and bend it around the edges of the nut, next tap on the dust cover ...use a rubber hammer so you dont dent it like i did !

[67cheby]

Next set the rotors on and throw on the temporary bolts or lugnuts to hold them in place until you can hang the capiler in place ! only 2 bolts to install the caliper and you are done with that part !

[67cheby]

Next lets go ahead and install the castle nuts and cotter pins on the upper and lower ball joints, then lets go ahead and add those pretty braided brake lines !

[67cheby]

Now lets see some pics !!

[67cheby]

and a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to CPP !! YOU ROCK MAN !

[Malamute]

Looks great Mike! Can't wait to see the finished product.

I have this same kit in 5 lug and can attest to how well it goes together, absolutely no hiccups. Having driven on it also I can say that it actually works pretty good, quite a bit more bite when you get on them than my previous set-up(73-87 front discs and factory 67 rear drums). Its not gonna turn your truck into a ZO6 or anything but using production car/truck calipers makes them cheap and easy to service and dead solid reliable.
