Title: Question about 84-87 Front Brakes
Post by: Fierofool on January 28, 2019, 05:41:52 pm

For the life of me, I can't remember. 

Are the front brake disks on the 84-87 separate from the spindles, or an integral part?  I know the rear disks are separate.

Separate.  There are inner and outer tapered bearings that must be pressed in, and a nut on the end, with a cap.

I guess I should have said 'separate from the hubs'.  Removable like the rear disks?  I know where I can get a pair of zinc coated disks for a good price and I wanted to put them on the front.  Do the disks just slide off the lug studs?

Watch part 3 of the Fiero Revival thread.  About 9 minutes in, he does the front brake rotors.

Thank you.  Integral with the hub, so it looks like I'll have to pass on a good deal.

Sure.  Interesting on the timing.

The Grand Am break upgrade kit that the Fiero Store sells consists of stock front rotor-hubs that have been machined down to be just hubs, so you can put the Grand Am rotors on them. I had those on my red car, and  the the Grand Am rotor - Cadillac caliper mod on the rear.
