help:Drum brake to disc brake

[bratski]

feasible ba ito guys? yung rear drum brake kasi ng everest ko plan ko convert into disc brakes. Madali kasi ma stuck up yung drum brake lalu na when driving in deep flood waters. Mahirap maiwasan kasi area namin always flooded. yung crv ko with all wheel disc brakes never pako naka encounter na naninikit ang brakes. How much kaya aabutin ang ganitong project?

possible yan.. pero gagastos ka din..


sa surplus shop mayroon ata silang disc brakes..

tanong ka din kung gagana pa din yong hand brake mo if pinalitan mo ng disc brake..

Also make sure yung disc brakes na i-retrofit mo is a direct bolt on. Wala nang retoke, wala na customization dahil usually doon nagsisimula ang disgrasya oras na bumigay. Critical point ito ng safety ng sasakyan mo kaya di ito tinitipid. All I'm saying is kung gusto mo talaga ito, lubusin mo na lahat kaysa sa gawin mo pero so-so lang pagkagawa.

If possible tanungin mo yung casa ng Ford kung meron silang direct replacement for it. Kasi ang isa pang problema dyan is kung yung drum brake is integrated sa suspension ng Everest, baka kailangan din palitan yung suspension components --> mahal!

not worth the pain; you've got to replace also the master cyl, proportioning valve, etc...

Hmm..malaki pala gagawin pag pinalitan, sabi ng mechanic ko direct swap lang daw
hindi ata kelangan magpalit ng suspension components pero tingin ko handbrake magkakaproblema. Ang everest ba sa propeller ang handbrake or mismo dun sa loob ng drums?may mga iba kasi na sa propeller kumakapit ang handbrake.
Wala naman ako balak tipirin kasi safety din habol ko. Kaso kung matrabaho sobra like palit ng master cyl etc etc parang hindi ata worth it

My sentiments exactly.

If you're worried about your brakes being affected by wading though floods, it's easier to open up the drums and clean them from time to time and to change brake fluids regularly.

Sabi din longer brake distance kapag nagdisc brake ka sa likod ah..

[mbeige]

^^Bakit naman longer distance pag discbrake sa likod? Diba dapat shorter dahil masmalakas kapit?

pag all wheel discs kasi mas may preno kapa ng konti compared sa drum and disc combo after wading through floods. yung previous cars ko na disc n drum halos wala ng preno kahit bombahin mo after wadng thru floods samantalang pag all disc kahit papano may kapit pa. Easier to service din ang disc compared sa drum na kelangan pa ng mechanic hehehe. But since marami palang papalitan wag nalang siguro. Kala ko kasi may direct bolt on replacement lang

try to contact your Ford service Advisor to make sure what are the parts that has to replace for disc brake replacement. Is your ride still covered by warranty, baka ma void.
