Contrary to what most people think, I still have Kiana (My Grand Am) around. IDK why, but a lot of people ask me what I'm going to do with the Pontiac or if I got rid/getting rid of the Grand Am.
Is it really wrong to be young with 2 cars? I mean my insurance went DOWN when I added the Cutlass to my insurance LMFAO.
Anyways, if my presence on the forums seems lacking as of late, it's because I'm too busy in the real world running errands getting my Cutlass where I want it to be. As far as what's about to get posted, I've had these things laying around BEFORE I got the Cutlass but the annoying winds of the DC metro area have not allowed me to do much of anything on the Grand Am.
Anyways, should everything go right, by the end of March, the Grand Am should be on 4 discs, just like my Cutlass.
I got these parts on January 18th. They've been sitting since because it has decided to snow and be below 32 degrees.
I have the calipers and brake hoses in the trunk of the Grand Am, which is currently parked in Alexandria, VA. Otherwise, I would have posted a pic of those too.
So now I wait for a better week. With February almost over, I think this will happen very soon.
BTW, getting these spindles out is really easy. It only took me 2 hours to do so. The first one is always hard because you have to figure out all small details, but after that, it's cakewalk.
I kept the hubs because I didn't want to spend an hour getting the hubs loose off the drums, but for anyone using this thread as a reference, they DO interchange. They have the same part number at the part stores. The parking brake cables and brake hoses have different part numbers.
According to the parts monkeys at Advance Auto and Auto Zone, the disc one is longer than the drum one. If this is true or not, I will check when I actually do this.
Until then, stay posted, as I will be updating this thread with pictures and a possible "How to" if anyone is interested in that, which if anyone has read my how to's they know I try to be very detailed.
