Here
is the kit as I received it. It will fit Ford Dana 60 72-79 8 lug
full float rear axles. Your choice of E-brake or non-e-brake. I
chose the non E-brake kit.
Kit
includes: 2 backing plates, 2 new rotors 2 calipers with pads and
bolts.

|
First
you need to remove the 8 bolts shown here and slide out the axle
shaft. The wheel bearings on full float rear axles are packed with
grease however the axle lubricant does reach the wheel bearings
and will spill out. I suggest putting a bucket under the work area
and have a few rags ready.

|
|
Now
you will need to remove the outer nut. First use a screw driver
to flatten the lock washer tab or tabs that have been bent over.
Remove outer nut, lock washer and inner nut.
|
 |
Now
you can remove the outer bearing.
|
 |
Pull
the drum and hub off. Now you will need to remove all the wheel
studs to separate the hub from the drum. I recommend replacing all
the wheel studs at this time. You will also want to inspect, clean
and repack the wheel bearings.
|
 |
At
this point you will need to unhook brake and E-brake lines. Then
remove the 4 backing plate bolts and remove backing plate.
|
 |
Now
we can start putting new parts on. The new rotor is installed on
the rear of the hub. It is retained by the wheel studs. Press or
hammer the wheel studs in. I used a hammer and long punch.
|
 |
Install
backing plate on axle housing. Caliper mounting facing rearward.
|
 |
Install
hub and rotor assembly. First retaining nut, lock washer then second
retaining nut. Bend over one or 2 of the lock washer tabs. Slide
in the axle shaft and install 8 retaining bolt. Tighten axle shaft
bolts to 70-85 ft. lbs. Install caliper with the 2 supplied pins.

DONE!
