      Good picture of Driver's Rear Wilwood install with parking brake?

      Does anyone have a good picture of the back side of their Wilwood driver's side rear brakes installed with the caliper clocked towards the front and the e-brake cable routed out the back? I'm trying to see if I setup my bracket right when I reclocked my caliper to the front on my 68 Camaro.



      Thanks!!

      After 64 "views" I sure would've thought someone had a good picture of their Wilwood rear brake install. I'm just looking for ideas to improve my install. I'm feeling there's room for improvement, but not sure where to go from here.

      Sorry it took longer than I thought to get some time to do this. My kit was really simple to put together (the parking brake was pre-assembled with the caliper mount).
      I had my calipers to the rear, and the e-brake cable over the axle housing (it is going to be low enough, don't want it dragging on anything in the road. I'm sure it can be re-clocked, as long as the caliper bolt heads face the wheel.

      Here are the best pictures I could get.
      Pull / Clean the axle housing


      Insert grease cap


      Slide in axle (with the emergency brake bracket on the axle)
      According to the instructions, make sure the caliper bracket bolts are facing TOWARDS THE WHEEL.


      Put in the bolts from the back


      Put the bearing retainer in (my instructions said to put it in lip in, U facing up


      Tap the axle in (IT SHOULD BE SNUG!!) I called Moser & Prodigy to make sure, and they said that it is completely sealed and requires no wheel bearing grease.


      Turn the axle housing until the view hole is in front of each bolt and put on the nuts and torque to spec (instructions state to use RED thread lock on these.)


      Slide on the new disc


      Put on the rear caliper and tighten to spec


      Measure with a digital caliper and make sure it is equal on both sides


      Use included washers to adjust from left to right as needed to make even...once done, runt he safety line through the bolt heads.

      Good job on the write up - when are you doing the parking brake cables? I'm curious to see how you setup the driver's side parking brake, looking for better ideas.

      Thanks!

      I'm not too sure. Next step is the firewall, then ebrake and center console. If you check for "Project Evade" he has some pretty good pictures of the ebrake being installed with a handle.
