1: Take off wheel.
2: Spray PB Blaster (Or similar penetrator) onto the brake hose.
3: Remove Drum. If they are rusted on, use a screw in the holes on the drum to pop it off the hub.
4. Unscrew the bolt that holds on the brake hose to the strut. (12mm)
5: Unscrew the E-Brake cables. (All are 10mm)
5A: Bolt in side rail.
5B: Bolt in middle after the bend of the cable.
5C: Unscrew the 3 nuts that hold on the heat shield, in order to access the rest of the cable.
5D: Unscrew the E-brake cables that are under the heat shield.
5E: Take the cable out of the holder. There is a hole on the top part, so that when you turn the cable 90 degree’s, it can be pushed up and taken out.
6: Loosen the brake hose, and retighten. This is just to break it loose to make it much easier in the following steps.
7: Remove the Hub. 4 bolts. (14mm)
8: Pull the backing plate off, and let it sit there.
9: Slid the backing plate back onto the knuckle. Make sure to put the big O-ring back on, to keep crap out of the hub bearings.
10: Screw back on the hub. (59 ft/lbs)
11: Set the E-brake adjustment to minimum.
12: Put on the rotor, and tighten the Caliper Bracket. (34 ft/lbs)
13: Put on the caliper and tighten the bolt. (14 ft/lbs)
14: Screw on the new brake hose onto the caliper. Make sure to use 2 new copper washers as shown. (21 ft/lbs)
15: SLIGHTLY loosen the old brake hose. Then pull out the clip that holds it onto the car. Then unscrew the old brake hose, and screw on the new one.
16: Screw back on the new E-brake cables and heat shield by following step 5 in reverse order.
17: BLEED THE DAMN BRAKES PLEASE!
