OEM Parts Needed -

Front Knuckles L and R
Front V6 calipers L and R
Rear Knuckles L and R
Rear EX (4cyl) or V6 calipers L and R - they're the same

I haven't finished it yet, just got the fronts done last night and started on the rears today (7-30-07). Probably finish most of it by tonight or tomorrow. Still waiting on a few bolts to come in the mail and figuring out how I'm gonna get the parking brake lines out.

Some teaser pics for now -

Open for business!







The rears


Front D. Side


Lotsa wheels


The carnage



Hit a speed bump in the progress, one bolt on the rear pass side didn't wanna come out. It seized itself in and when I tried breaking it loose with the breaker bar I ended up tearing the rubber bushing loose. I called it quits @ 4 cuz I was just getting more pissed off and frustrated with it. Probably gonna end up cutting it out.

More pics -

Rear D, side out for the most part, just have to remove parking brake.


Front D. Side all put back together, minus brake line.


Front Pass Side - mounted rim just to get an idea of how it would look.


Rear Pass side - Bolt the breaker bar is on


New shift **** on the beater ED, broken baseball bat handle. Its like buttah

Made more progress than I thought I would this morning. Parking brakes (e-brake) are done, everything else is bolted up except the rear calipers cuz I don't have any bolts that will fit the holes. So...on with the pics! FYI - these are in reverse order.

Side view...guess you cant really see much.



Rear pass side


Rear D. side


New e-brake cables in


This bolt was a bitch to get out and an even bigger bitch to get back in.


These holes are where the two brackets for the D. side e-brake cable mount, the smaller hole is for a tab on the bracket, the larger is of course for a bolt. These were also a bitch to get back in.


Old e-brake cables, D. side out - that's the back of the carpet showing through that hole. The cables pull right out as soon as you unbolt and unhook them.


Removing old e-brake cables, grab the cable and turn it to the open side (right for Pass, left for Driv) and pull and thats it.


How its all put together once you remove the console, yes I will be cleaning it once I get to it.


Same stuff as above, just a closer shot.
