    Question about Brake Hub and Rotor

    Could the hub be turned down enough to fit the wheels. Starting to looks like I might have as much in machine work as I would in buying new wheels. This thing is an exercise in pain and really trying my patience.

    Question about Brake Hub and Rotor

    Just curious, has anyone changed their front brake system to bbp disc and redrilled back to the 4"sbp pattern? I'm in the process of changing to disc but would like to retain my 14" wheels. Will the drum wheels still work with disc system?

    What if I don't change my Master Cylinder on a disc conversion?

    It appears there may be more than one way to make the system work. No one should take offence at a discussion that has no true experts or engineers giving advice. Unless of course you are an true expert or engineer, then I'd ask you for your sources and research. Maybe your opinions don't...

    What if I don't change my Master Cylinder on a disc conversion?

    It will be fine, just remove the residual pressure valve and check the fluid at every oil change. Might need the adapter plate to do a change over if you go that direction. Use the small bore M/C. Might up your life and accident insurance and keep a lawyer on retainer just incase you run...

    DIY Drum Brake removal tool

    In your case looks like you needed a puller. If it was the shoe to far out or not able to back off the adjuster, I cut the pins. Wack it with a BFH. I won't fool around all day fighting with it . Spring kits are cheap. Hosabout a pic of your invention.
