Next, comes the installation of the front bearing, again using an ample supply of high quality wheel bearing grease.
Bret installs a completed rotor onto the correct spindle keeping in mind that they are directional. To fully set the bearings, the accompanying castle nut should be final torqued to 12 lb/ft while spinning the rotor in the forward direction. This will remove any excess grease that could cause wheel bearing play. The castle nut is then backed off to the "just loose" position which should produce the desired .001 to .005-inches of end play. Finally, the cotter pins are installed.
Next, Dan installs the passenger side Wilwood disc brake caliper.
The 3/8-16 x 1-3/8-inch socket head Allen's, lock washers and flat washers are provided in the kit.
Next, our installers drill and tap the side of the Chassisworks frame for two 10-32-inch threaded holes. These holes will position the brake line tab 2-inches below the top of the frame and 2-1/2-inches ahead of the weld on the front cross member. Once these holes have been made, the accompanying stainless-steel brake line brackets are installed using the provided 10-32 x 3/8-inch button head bolts.
With that done, we see the installation of the provided 3/8-inch, braided stainless brake lines.
Shown is the 90% completed Alston Chassisworks front frame.
