A buddy and I are putting power disks off a Mustang onto my manual drum brake car. I have all the parts, but we have a few concerns we've found so far.
1. Power Booster. The original manual booster was secured by 2 threaded bolts. The Power booster appears to need 5 holes in the firewall, and all need to be unthreaded.
Am I right to assume that we have to drill these holes out? It looks like I have 4 out of the 5 holes I need, but they are all threaded.
2. Brake pedal. I bought a new power brake pedal. My friend Gary says it appears that the clutch and manual brake pedal share a pivot shaft. But the power brake pedal just came with a short bolt. Where does it fasten to, and what about the clutch?
3. Lower control arms. The ball joints refuse to seperate from the spindles. I'm about to just by new lower arms. Is there a tricm to get them off without destroying the ball joints? And if not, do you have to have new ball joints pressed in?
Thanks for any help. And let us know if there are any other major stumbling blocks any of you encountered when doing this swap.
