Probably not possible because the rotors house the bearings. But who knows.

I like that. It's not that expensive either.

Re: 1987 c10 rear disc brakes

tvblazer, did you have to end up putting a valve on it...I have hydroboost brakes because of the diesel and I'm wondering if it would be the same or not...?

Chuck,

I put fine tune SSBC adjustable one on, as you know your drums have to have 10 LB to work and your disce only need 2 LB. And it will work just fine on yours. You can also put in a residual valve from Wilwood that works good, they are very small..

Good luck,
Trav
