The swap is on

Post by Joshpow »

My disc brake swap should be on for in the morning. Hope all goes well. 1 helper not gonna get to help. just 2 of us. Maybe get it all swapped tomorrow. Gonna swap front axles etc lines and calipers. If enough time swap rear wheel cylinders and rear lines. Hope to get it all done cause powerstroke has bad radiator so need the ol bump!! Wish me luck.

How did it work out? Last time it was just me, the jack and a ratchet strap. Git-Er-Done

It worked. Pain to get everything lined up. For some reason the ibeams didnt want to line up quite right. Had to do some jack work and clamping to get them to line up and then all went fairly well. Hardest part was getting pivots aligned and bolts in. Done and driving tough!
