PeeWee Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Right, i have bought some xr3i rear disks, calipers, fittings,pads basically all exept the beam This is because i seem to already have the rs2k type rear drum beam on my mk5b with anti roll bar etc.How hard is this conversion to do & do i need anything else to complete it?Im pretty sure stoo2000 has done it on his orion before but would like as many views & info as possible Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85rob Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 4 bolts and get a pri bar inbetween the backplate and the hub and it will come away. just make sure u can remove the old pipes first, i left tht till last and couldnt shift them unless i broke the metal pipe so had to put everything back together.
