2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission EGR rear disc conversion

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

Has anyone attempted the rear disc conversion themselves? If so, were special tools required? How long did it take? I just purchased the kit, but really haven't had the chance to look it over. Thanks!

Get hold of EricBu12, he just completed the upgrade. And check out the thread "99 brakes starting to scare me".

I've got the TSM Disc on the rear. Pretty easy, only special tool was a large thin wall socket to get at axle nut. Can't remember the size. Napa had them in stock.

The wheel studs had to be pressed in. Tried air hammer without much progress. It took about 4 hours actual labor not including the running to machine shop and Napa. Also, make sure to use thread locker on the axle flange bolts. They have a tendency to loosen up. Mine did.

Good luck.
