YES, Another Rear Disc Brake Conversion Question, tried the search Options

[SilverCell94]

as some of us might know the "how-to" article on this topis is pretty good but there are minor details that were left out. i tried the search but the details are scattered throughout mnay threads.

at this moment the parts that i have are as follow (from a GT):

-disc rotor
-e-brake components
-e-brake cable
-back plate
-calipers

now, am i missing anything??

i know i need the caliper brackets

anything will help

thank you

Actually, the calipers bolt to the bracket, then the bracket bolts to the backing plate.

The trouble is, most people don't know how to properly separate the caliper, which is a single piece of metal containing the piston, from the caliper bracket. It can actually take quite a bit of force if the pieces have seized together, though depending on how it seized (bushing seized or bolt seized) the caliper may function correctly.

Since you're evidently doing this piecemeal as I did, you will also need:
-brake hoses (caliper hoses are longer than the drum hoses)
-O-ring (has to be replaced when you remove the hub to put the backing plate on)
-pad supports (usually come with any pads you buy)



As long as you're using the parts from a sixth-gen, you should have no issues with fitment.

This thread is specific to fifth-gens in the part numbers, but everything else is the same between fifth-gen and sixth-gen.

The second page will probably be the most help.
