FYI ... for redneckery ideas on getting the hub bolts torqued to 94 ft/lbs when both pieces rotate, just stand the wheel up and use the bar to stop the rotation! Just a thought ... hope it helps!








Ok now I have to take it back apart and Loctite and torque all the bolts.

Hi Michael,

It appears you swapped the "stop plate" (or as I and others may know it as, the "adjuster/lever") from one dust shield assembly to the other. If so, technically it does work as you have figured out, but as you may have noticed the lever /boot is slightly offset and does not quite fit as nicely as the intended adjuster for that side. With that said I see no issue with its function and the only thing that I can even remotely see happening because of the slight lever/boot offset would be the levers "boot" may not seal to the dust shield quite as well as the intended one for that side. Make sense?

So I guess the short answer is: Yes it does work

Now with that said and of course completely up to you but I am thinking the e-brake cable bracket approach may be best if you switch both your complete assemblies to opposite sides and "flip them". This would give you front mount calipers as you have, only the e-brake cable bracket would be on the bottom and angled a bit better for the e-brake cable approach. Hard for me to be sure, but just something to consider. As you are seeing, this kit you have (The Big Bearing Ford Kit) is extremely flexible as it relates to caliper/e-brake cable location options.

The car looks awesome and proud to have my parts on it! Thank you!!

Cool Thanks!

Jay,
Just realized I posted in the "12 bolt" thread ... oh well.

Thanks for your thoughts and ideas, your kit is very versatile, I just did the swap from side to side and this does put the stop plate on the bottom and it should have a better angle of the dangle with the cable.

Thanks for helping,

Michael
