1968 Chevy Camaro Disc Brake Swap Part 1

 

What better way to get your Muscle Car to stop than with a set of disc brakes.

Lets Get This is Thing To Stop!

Our project car this time is a Classic Muscle Car: The 1968 Chevy Camaro. Although some came through with factory front disc brakes, our car was originially

a six cylinder converted into a V8 and unfortunately a four wheel drum car, but dont let this bother you. its really no big deal.

How Much You Spend Dictates How Well You Stop!

As much as we preach about not having to spend tons of money on your Muscle Car, brakes is one area where you can really spend some dough. But you do

not have to over spend to see an improvement.  As usual, we always rely on proper planning and research to determine what fits our needs.

Good, Better, Best?

We chose one of the cheaper disc brake conversions from SSBC. The kit comes with everything from drums, pads, seals, bearings and even chrome bearing caps!

For around $1000, you get everything short of grease and a rear axle seal and oil. The next step up we found is a good system from Wilwood. Then theres Brembo

brakes. Big money, big stopping power. Usually for big horsepower cars. This set up was not for our budget, but nonetheless is pretty sweet.

Lets Get Started

As always, get the car safely jacked up and use safety stands...always!. With the front wheels off, front brakes disassembly is easy. Take off the bearing cap, remove

cotter pin, unscrew main nut and the the drum comes off.  Undo the brake line from the wheel cylinder, and then unbolt the steering arm.  At this point,

great care must be taken since you need to unbolt the spindle from the control arms. We used a jack to take the pressure off of the springs as we

unbolted everything. With everything unbolted, we lowered the jack to release tension, and poof, its all apart. Its that easy!

Prep The Front Carefully

We needed to reuse our steering arm from the old drum set up, so we cleaned them up, painted them and reinstalled them onto our

new disc brake spindles. Replace the spindles in reverse order of removing  them.  With spindles on, now you can pack your bearings,

install your seals, and bolt on your rotor. Now, attach the caliper bracket to the spindle and attach the new caliper to the bracket. You

will also have to change your flexible hydraulic line to fit the new caliper.  And thats all it is!
