Default Wilwood Bbk Install Instructions (56k Beware)

DISCLAIMER: The procedures, methods and products written up here were for my circumstances only. I make no assertions that your results will be the same nor do I claim that this is the best way to do it. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

These instructions will work with 12.2", 13", and 14" rotor applications.


Disassembly
1. Loosen lug nuts on the front two wheels.

2. Lift front end with a jack and place jack stands under the lower control arms. The lower control arms must be supported.

3. Remove both wheels.

4. Remove two bolts from the back side of the spindle marked A in the picture. Hold the caliper while you remove the second bolt. Lift caliper off of rotor. With wire tie the caliper to the upper control arm out of the way.



5. Remove two bolts holding break line to the spindle marked B in the picture.

6. You should now be able to untie the caliper and lay it on the ground still connected to the brake line.

7. Remove rotor by unscrewing two screws marked A, and sliding rotor off of wheel studs.



8. Clean and de-grease the spindle with brake cleaner.


Assembly of Wilwood Kit

9. Prepare new brackets for mounting. Take two large brass colored bolts put matching lock washer, spacer sleeve like in the picture. Put Loctite 271 on bolt. Place bolt through the front side of the spindle which is opposite of how the stock calipers were mounted using the top hole. Once bolt is through the spindle add on shim.

Excellent work buddy. Im sure this will make a lot of people think twice about not working on their own cars. Great way to get owners more involved with another part of being a true enthusiast. Well done!!!

PAS2KNUT,

Great write up!!!

I am thinking about going with 13 6 piston as well.I am not
planning to do my rear brake(just matching rear).

Would i upset the brake balance(car)?Meaning my rear brake gonna wear out faster then front?(DOCOMIND aka Sherwin can jump anytime,Thanks).

Pro and Con please?

Plus i am setting my car up for street driving(daily driver).
Track once per yr if that.

Stock brake on the S imo is great for the street.

If i change all my Dish to Slotted /Drilled,would i see(feel) any brake improvement
over the stock.

Thanks.
