Read step six.....just 4 bolts that you have been probably looking at all along. Make sure you put the hub back on the same way you took it off. Maybe mark it with a pen/marker or something.

If you follow these steps, it is a real easy job. The pics that were posted above should give you a good idea of the breakdown.

ok, i'm 1/4 of the way done. i have removed the brake disc, caliper, parking brake lines and caliper lines from the left side. so now i have to do it for the right side, then install it all into my car. probably get about half way done here tomorrow or so. then install the disc brakes next weekend. i'll let you guys know and thanks for the help. my stupidity is what slowed me down. later

ok, half way done. donor brakes are off and all they need to have done is painted, put on my car, and then be bleeded. so when they go on here in a couple of days, you guys will know. thanks for the help. later
