So after doing my front axle Minitruck conversion I decided that I would do a tech thread outlining the process. There are many on here but I felt none I found had enough pictures. So if you have dialup, youre screwed, cuz there are going to be a lot of pics here, hopefully the mods don't delete my membership cuz I crashed their server,
I don't plan on putting a lot of wording in this thread, I hope the pictures explain themselves enough. I would reccomend anyone to read up on every thread they can find as it helps with the overall picture.
I used this excellent thread to do a step by step of the process,

I printed it out and followed it to put the axle back together, along with a printout of the pics I took of the breakdown of the axle, with these 2 things the conversion was fairly easy.
Parts List:
for axle seals, bearings, etc, just call Kurt at cruiser outfitters, he will tell you exactly what you need, will have it and has fair prices.
I found all my hard parts at Kragen, your local store will match the kragen online store's pricing, which many times can be half of what it is when you walk in! so shop around and save some serious $$. Also, if you look at the weekly specials online they usually have nice coupons for stuff like brake cleaner, towels, etc. part #'s are kragen #'s and can be seen at www.kragen.com
RC3190 - Loaded Caliper
9838RGS - Rotor
I guess that's it, hope this helps someone and please correct me when I am wrong or involve your input for everyone's benefit.
first part will be axle teardown, 2nd will be buildup
