drum to disc brake conversion... ... DONE pg 3 (no 56k)
 

I've been slowly working on converting my brakes to disc over the last month or so.

I'm upgrading the fronts too.

Fronts: Brembo slotted rotors with Bendix pads.
Rears: Brembo drilled rotors with Bendix pads.

Here's a pic of a pad in the front next to the new pads.

-Connect the e-brake lines
-replace the proportioning valve with the "new" 4040 from a 94-01 tegi

Update:
I have switched to the impact gun, cause I need to. The driver's is coming out real nice. Just one more 3 more bolts on that side, two of which are holding on the e-brake cable, so only 1 hard one left. Now for the passenger's side I have 4 more bolts, two again for the e-brake, 1 for the trailing arm bushing and another stupid arm one.

Driver's side:

The only reason I only got this far was because I started late tonight and had to stop because of the noise. Neighbors suck when you have to get things done.
