Drum to disc brake conversion
« on: March 20, 2009 - 09:15:34 AM »
I have a 72 Cuda with manual drum brakes all around.  I have all of the parts to put a set of power disc brakes on the front?  Does anyone have a guide on how to do this for a novice.  At this point, the brakes, rotors, new spindles, ball joint and bearings are all assembled and ready to put on once I figure out how to pull the front drum brakes off.  Thanks for any assistance
