Changing hubs from drums to disks

Postby MrOizo » Sun Feb 19, 2006 10:22 pm

Whats involved in doing this?

i have an AE91 sedan which has the drum rears. I have also just bought some rear hubs (complete with disks, calipers, hoses and handbrake cables) off of trade me from a AE92 FXGT...

I have AE92 struts already in it and wanna move away from the drum rears.

Can i simply swap over the hub assemblies or is there more to it? master can stay the same? etc etc

thanks.
