Notes for Installing:

1) Rear Caliper Parking Brake Lever Adjustment - @BigR

This procedure must be performed as part of the rear caliper replacement operation. Failure to adjust the parking brake lever, before you apply the hydraulic brakes, can result in no parking brake and possible premature brake wear or damage. Adjust the parking brake levers by pushing them forward. Each time you push them they should move off of the stop less. To be properly adjusted, they should only move off of the stop 3/8 to 1/2 inch. If they will not adjust try putting a lever between the rotor and the pad and putting pressure on the piston. Now push the lever releasing pressure on the pad as the caliper adjusts. These are the only two ways we know of to adjust the parking brake. If the calipers won't adjust you will have a low pedal and the piston will retract too far and will use up all your hydraulic pedal travel to put the brakes on. Once the parking brake calipers are adjusted put a c-clamp on between the lever and the bracket to hold the brakes locked up. Note: An easy test for proper lever position is to grasp the brake pad and try to shake it. If any rattling is heard, the parking brake lever requires adjustment.

Additional Parts:

@BigR

1) Here is what you will need to adapt the existing brake line. You will have to cut the existing line to fit. Then flair the end and use the fitting shown below. It is a 3/16" brake flair nut. Then screw the brake line into the flexible line that is secured to the welded bracket you installed and bingo you are good to go.

3/16 brake line nut mine is Napa #641-3297 cost $1.08

I'm waiting on my taxes before I throw my name on there.

I'll probably be in for:

...b) Part Number 2533A+ - $541.96 (we are getting $98 off their sale price of $639.95)
...

I say "probably" because (caution: more detail than anyone here gives a rat's butt about...) the March 30 date is a little iffy for me.
I need to have an earlier order date..


I'm in Milwaukee working at the moment.
There's a shop here with a guy I trust to do the install for me.

Hands On Garage

Nick there at Hands-On is a stand-up guy and knows his stuff.
When I was here in summer '12 he installed my QA1 coilovers, my efan, and my low-pro transmission x-member.

I'm here in a motel and can't even think of doing this myself.
And I'll be finishing up here about March 30 as things are looking now.
After that I'll probably be in the Denver area for a while and I don't where I could get it done there.
And I'll be in and out of town anyway.

I think March 30 will work for me if we get delivery soon after, but that's cutting it kinda close for me. I really, really want to do this though.

So.... pending.

Hard to imagine needing to replace rotors in the life of most trucks...
The rears do so little work.

Good to have the info and know that they are only modified off-the-shelf rotors though just in case.

I'm getting seriously stoked on this.
Got my guy at Hands-On Garage lined up to do the install for me.

Is anyone putting these on an 09 and up? Only asking because I want a 1st hand comparison to the difference then the larger drums on the 09 and up pickups.

One of the reasons I didnt get in on the group buy was because I wanted the feedback to see how worth the expense would be. It is worth the difference between the regular price and the group buy price.

The only difference is the V8's all other Coly's have the AAM800 ... IIRCthe V8 has the AAM860 and even then they show the template to measure and find out if the bracket will mount.
