Press out the wheel studs change the rotors and then press them back in again, make sure you clean off the hub surface. I did my 68 SBP rotors a little while ago but I decided to replace all the wheel studs. No swedge.

Think about slotted rotors, sometimes they develop a squeal which can be quite annoying.

I just did my 68 not long ago and decided to install all new rt. hand thread studs it's easy as long as you have a press or a nice size vice. Just press out the studs change the rotor and press the studs back in. Bob

Looks great Ron, did those flex hoses come with the kit or did you use a different brand? They don't look like the ones that came with my kit. Bob

By the way Ron I am looking forward to seeing your conversion completed and knowing how it went for you, please take lots of pictures. Bob

For those of you who would like or those of you who need information regarding help with a front disc brake conversion ask, I have been through it and I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. If I can not answer your question I am sure that someone on this forum will be able to...

Hey Steve, I called my auto shop and they no longer have the wheel studs. I am sure if you need new ones you should be able to find right hand thread. Good luck Bob

Yes 610-130 are the right hand thread studs, looking for the left hand thread number.

I do not have the part numbers off hand, and left hand studs are getting almost impossible to find any more. There was an auto parts store here in Michigan that I deal with and they said that they had some left hand ones, I will give them a call tomorrow and see if they still have them. Bob

Steve the wheel studs are supposed to fall right through the rotor holes then press firmly into the hub. And as stated before disc hubs and drum hubs are different, I don't think you will see those humps on the back side of drum hubs. Bob

Hey Steve, I believe that I sent this picture to you before but maybe it will help you again. Those do look like the KH hubs that were on my 68 with factory disc brakes and I did get my replacement rotors from Rock Auto. The picture you have there is the back side of the hubs, the rotors sit on...

I think you will be happy with it. Make sure to ask if there is a way that you need to break in those drilled and slotted rotors so they do not squeal, if I remember correctly there is a procedure to follow. Bob

For any of you members who are thinking about a front disc brake conversion for your car, the Pirate Jake conversion is a great kit. It is easy to install and the price is right. We are lucky to have members on here who like to ask and answer all of the technical questions that half of our...

Yes mine are factory SBP 14X5.5 Rallyes and my 66 came with SBP from the factory and so did my 68 Formula S and it to will keep it's SBP. If I remember correctly when I first started my thread about installing a Pirate Jack front brake conversion kit on my 66 you "72bluNblu" had a whole bunch of...

I happened to have SBP 14X5.5 Rallye Wheels on my 66 and they fit fine. Bob

Ordered My Disc Brake Conversion Kit

If you would have looked at my thread you would have seen that the Pirate Jack kit comes with new spindles, they include a crush sleeve so you can stay with the small ball joint to fit your small bolt pattern. Bob

Hey Ron I did use the Pirate Jack kit on my 66, if you look up my post "ordered my disc brake conversion kit today" everything about the kit including all my pictures and all the good and bad comments that you will need are in there. I thought the kit was great and the price was great also. A...

Every line on my 66 was replaced and I bought them from Inline Tube, they all fit perfectly. Now I am picking up lines for the 68 and so far so good. Bob

You can't go wrong with In-Line Tube, I used them on my 66 Barracuda and it all went well. Going on about 7 years now since I built my 66 Barracuda and still not a drop. I went with a duel master cylinder and a front disk brake conversion 2 years ago and I used In-Line Tube for the M/C lines "67...

I did use the Pirate jack kit on my 66 and I really like it. You can see the whole story if you look up my thread ( Ordered my disc brake conversion kit ) it was easy to install and works very well. We also have a vendor on this forum from Pirate Jack he goes by PirateJackHotRod if you go to my...

Hey Dave I took a look at my Barracuda and the spindle to lower ball joint bolts do not come anywhere near the lower control arms when turned all the way right or left, and my bolts do look a lot shorter than Gary's. I had the car on the ground so it would be just like on the road. I think the...

One more thing, if you look at post 26 you will see that my sway bar link brackets are up side down at the lower shocks. When I finished up my conversion and took it in for the front end alignment the sway bar was hitting on the torsion bars so I needed to face them downward. OOOPS!!! don't make...

You know I just realized that post 26 and 27 are of my Barracuda so that is the way my bolts are facing. So give me a little time and I am going to see if they can indeed be turned around and if so will it improve my turning radius. Not sure if the rotors will clear the nuts and washers, but if...

Hey David, Yes my turning radius has changed some since my conversion, not so much that it is a problem but yes it has changed. I understand what chrgdrt is saying and I will go out tomorrow and see which way my bolts are facing and determine if a change is to be made. I like what he is saying...

Taking pictures of the studs that are installed right now is a little tuff, you can only see the flat back of the studs from the inside and on the outside you can only see the threads sticking through the fire wall. Now if you remove the whole brake pedal assembly then you can see the rest of...

Open the eBay link that he supplied, a picture of the studs are on there.

That is defiantly would I would try first, I would think that by leaving the other three tight you should be able to pop the one out and replace it by it's self.

Hey Richard, if you feel like a ride over to Clarkston I have a set of four new ones you can have for $20.00, if you want them shipped make it $24.00. I only have the studs though, you will have to use the old nuts or get new ones. Bob

Haven't really had mine out a whole bunch since the conversion, I may notice it in the spring when I drive it a little more. It was a strait shot to the front end alignment shop and then back home so not a lot of miles on it since.
