here is an easy way to swap out to rear disc brakes:
pull the rotor off....then remove the big nut cover on the center of the hub...then pull off the big bolt that holds the wheel bearing on....move the whell bearing...
behind there you will see 4-15mm bolts...take them out..
then you will have the disc setup without the rear knuckle....
then just do the sae thing to your car and install them that way...

then you wont have to worry about getting the rear knuckle off the car, not wasting time trying to get that long *** bolt out, and not have to worry about an alignment

i just slaped mine on with the the knuckle, seemed easier not to disassemble thebrake assembley. i have air tools so things wentreally fast. hardest part was getting the e-brake cable thur the rubber groment

Didnt even get an alignmen, figured it wasnt nessiary for the rear wheels. should i be worried
