5 Lug Conversion - 1/2

300ZX Brake Upgrade Front - 1
Ralph- 0

So I came across a good deal on a complete 5 lug conversion with stock SE Alloy wheels and tires AND a 300zx Brake Upgrade with everything needed to install.

To make a long story short I spent 2 hours more than I needed to do the 5 lug conversion AND was only able to get the front done due to time of day. So Im riding in style, front 5 lug, rear four lug.

Because I decided it was a good time to attempt the brake upgrade I realized I shouldnt off because it cost me every bit of 3-4 hours trying to fit and figure out how the shims and crap worked into the setup. After remembering that NICO had a diagram on how those pieces went together, it took all of 10 minutes or so. BUT I had to pull the brakes off becaues I couldnt get the nut to brake free off of the hardline that runs out of the car. I shouldnt realized that it would be soft due to age and the elements, but moving forward I managed to pretty much round off the nut. I might be the only one who's ever done it but I doubt it. And this might be an obvious answer, but is Vise Scrips the way to get the bolt to break free without damaging it anymore? That one bolt cost me hours worth of sweating and getting nothing done.

Dame you brake upgrade...damn you...
