well its spring allmost..

i am working on my grey cb7 fixing it up , and i think im gonna have to do breaks all around..

i have 2 questions that i know you smart people can answer :thumbsup:

is it cheeper to do a 4 to 5 lug conversion all around? , or is it cheeper to replace the drum and roater..


seccond quesion.?

where there any how-to's on roters and drums , replacing master cylender , draining the lines... my drums dont want to come off, could it be that they are so badly worn that i would have to be the hulk to gettem off?


any tips would be a help... no rush

first off, it's BRAKES, ROTORS, CHEAPER, QUESTION, ALMOST, CYLINDER

just had to do that ;) lol

but really, the drums are usually stuck.....may have to adjust the back off some through the adjustment slot on the back of it.....then get a hammer and beat the shit out of it until it will come off......they're just stuck usually

and a 5 lug conversio would cost more, you may only need to have the rotors/drums turned.....honda can turn the front ones while still on the car (i'd put the pads on after they did that unless the pads are eat up already) and the rear drums can be turned anywhere......maybe $30-$40 for all of them together......then you replace the pads/shoes....shoes may be tricky if you've never done them, but it's up to you to try




sorry about this question, what do you mean when you say honda can turn the front ones ,
