Drum to Disc help

[lonestar22]

ive been reading everywhere and using the search like crazy but still havent come up with what i need to find out. im hearing that u can use your stock ebrake system and that u can change it out. i dont want to have to do any more work than i have to. and what exactly do i do to the brake lines

[mrjaydeeone]

the stock ebrake system is usable. It's easier if the disc setup comes from a galant then from an eclipse. The ebrake cable fits right in if they are from a galant. If they are from an eclipse they require some dremeling to make the hole wider to get your ebrake cable in.

[lonestar22]

thanks bro, guess they should fit just fine then

[lonestar22]

anyone know what to do when a flare wrench wont get that bolt off! its gonna be stripped soon i have no idea what im doing wrong

[02redgalant]

spray it up with pb blaster and let it sit it should screw out easy

[lonestar22]

pb blaster i had, but that lead to this
im thinkin im pretty much fucked.

[bronxbombr]

last resort is to get the ole vice grip pliers and grip em tight as fuck. Although you do know you will be needing a new one of those right

[lonestar22]

that line runs all the way to the front of the car. fuckin $170 dollar hard line. my life sucks, this demotivates me to do anything else to my car

[02redgalant]

damn what size flare wrench were you using

[lonestar22]

10mm

u'll be ight... things can be worse..... think of it like that

[lonestar22]

these are the two parts i need rez, if your out there


those two bars that are bent

two more questions
what is this thing??



and how am i supposed to get this line to stay?

[02redgalant]

for the last pic of the emergency line it won't fit snug like the original line cause drum uses a different ends on the emergency line then the v6 so you can't clip it down, two choices you can hook it to the e-brake and use it like that you just won't have a clip on the backing plate,thats what I did, or you can get new emergency brake lines from a v6,make sure you adjust the ebrake so that it functions so you don't have do 2x the work

[lonestar22]

how do i make sure its tight? turn that cylinder thing until i can barely get the rotor on?

[02redgalant]

make sure the cables good on the hanger,yea have it so that you can slide the rotor over the shoes,then its pretty much moving the little star cylinder till the shoes expand and you cant move the rotor at all trying your hardest to turn it then loosen up the adjustor (3-5 notches) so it moves and then test out the e-brake from inside the car and check out the side you did it shouldn't move at all and your set

[lonestar22]

how do i move it when the rotor is on? im not at my car right now

[02redgalant]

grab it by the drum part...

I had almost the same problem... i had begun to strip my nut on the brake line... luckly my mechanic was able to get the right flare wrench and get it open.. i didnt strip mine too bad but my dumb ass didnt know better used a vice grip the first time... i know better to make sure i use all the right tools when doing stuff like this...
