Rear Disc Brake Kit!

[danbie8]

I'm about to start the rear disc brake swap on my 84. Is there a way that it can be done without having to press the backing plate; can you cut it somehow? I know its better to do it right but I'll need to buy new bearings if they are pressed out right? I'm kindof on a budget.

Better to ask this in the tech section you'll get answers there

There are several threads on here covering this exact subject, with both your chevy caliper swap and the toyota caliper swaps. Pressing is not required. A lot quicker then that actually. Ive done one myself using an IFS caliper and Tacoma Rotor, with a board venders design. Good luck and welcome to the forum bruh. O0

YES. Press out the four bolts. Hit it loose with a hammer. Cut it in half and remove. Press the bolts back in. An air chisel works great.

You can also go full float. No pressing needed :p
