View Full Version : rear drum question...yea I searched 2000wrx 01-13-2005, 08:28 PM Just wondering, I have rear calipers, brackets, lines and rotors. Can I put these on to my rear drum knuckles, what other parts should I need? Anyone have a good source for shop diagrams? scoobydorift 01-14-2005, 01:32 AM you will need the rear hub and e-brake lines...other than that you should be fine. 2000wrx 01-14-2005, 08:24 AM cool, so if I can source rear hubs I would need a shop to press the rotors on the hub?? I so wish I had a shop manual. linsavy 01-14-2005, 10:56 AM You don't need hubs, you need the backing plate that the caliper bracket bolts too. This plate has to be exchanged with the drum plate which means pressing the hubs off and back on. Most people just swap the whole knuckle with hubs and plates to save the trouble. The rotors just slide onto the wheel bolts, no pressing required. You also need the disc e-brake assemblies and cables. Those are expensive new, so find used ones. You will likely have trouble getting the lat. links out so you should have spare bolts and bushings available. PS this has been covered many many times so try searching in the brakes and suspension forum for "drum swap" or "drum disc" Look on this site for instructions http://wac.addr.com/auto/obs/cruise/cruise.html Jaxx 01-14-2005, 12:14 PM i highly recomend just getting a compete rear knuckel +cable A. to get the backing plate you will probblay have to buy the whole knuckle B. the cables are a major pain in the ass to change 2000wrx 01-14-2005, 02:25 PM I am having a lil trouble sourcing the whole set up... ill keep looking.. :) scoobydorift 01-14-2005, 02:42 PM i think when i bought my whole set up it was around 150 shipped for everything....keep looking in the private for sale they will pop up.
