How To Install Power Front Disc Brakes



1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Attaching Brake Line
10 Install the new brake lines onto the calipers before installing the calipers on the car. Be sure to use a supplied washer between the line and the caliper to ensure there are no brake-fluid leaks.		 1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Caliper Install
11 Install the caliper by placing it over the rotor.		 1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Bolting Calipers
12 Using the supplied hardware, bolt the caliper into place by thoroughly tightening the bolts. Be sure to use the supplied lock washers along with the bolts.
1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Moving Brake Line Bracket Forward
13 We had to unbolt this brake-line bracket and slide the line forward slightly to allow it to reach the new brake line. This was a minor issue that took only a few minutes.		 1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Finishing Brake Line Install
14 To complete the disc-brake installation, connect the new brake-line hose to the car's existing steel line. Then tighten it with a line wrench and reinstall the retaining clip as shown.		 1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Power Brake Booster Install Kit
15 With the Master Power brake-booster package, the assembled master cylinder and booster are ready to install, and the vacuum-hose kit and power-brake pedal are also included. This package is considerably more difficult to install than the disc-brake setup, but power brakes are a worthwhile upgrade on any vintage Mustang.
1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Removing Strut Brace For Access
16 Remove the driver-side strut brace to access the master-cylinder area. This piece needs to come out so the new master and booster can be installed. It will also give you working room. Consider removing the hood as well to gain even more access to the firewall area. Remove the driver seat also, which will make it more comfortable to access the area underneath the instrument panel.		 1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Removing Factory Junction Block
17 Unbolt the brake lines from the factory junction block, which will also be removed to make way for the block included with the new brake booster. Use line wrenches to be sure you don't damage the line nuts on the car's factory brake lines, which will be reused.		 1967 Ford Mustang Disc Brake Install Brake Light Switch Removal
18 This cotter pin, located behind the instrument panel, secures the brake pushrod to the brake pedal. Remove it to take out the master cylinder. There isn't enough room underneath a car's dash for a tool, hand, and camera at the same time to show exactly what's happening, but a pair of needle-nose pliers is necessary to remove the pin, which will also release the brake-light switch.
