rear end conversion
Well I picked up a 9 bolt posi rear during the week with disc brakes. I got the full axle assembly with the rear springs, calipers, proportioning valve the works. It came out of a fire chicken but I don't know the year. My question is does anyone know where I can get a diagram to reassemble the brakes and e-brake assembly? The guy I bought it off of had the thing completely apart and I'm not looking to spend my weekend guessing what part goes where. He tried to explain it to me but he ran through it to fast. He also said the ratio was a 3:70 which I think he meant 3:73. I'm having the calipers reconditioned at an autoparts store (he gave me 2sets so I have a spare). Any help on reassemblingthe brakes would be great. I've done brakes before but I've taken the pads and rotors off. Never reassembled them from scratch. Any help would beappreciated. Thanks.

How much is taken apart? They are the very simple ones. Very, very simalure to front disc but with an e brake cable. Put the rotor on, bolt the caliper braket on and slip the caliper on and bolt it on with the sliders/bolts. Hopefuly you got the e brake cables. They go right onto the original part at the adjuster. I doubt I will have the energy to take a wheel off but I think I can crawl under my car and take a pic and get most of it in the pic and will post it....when its day light

Thanks Mike,the entire braking system was apart. The only thing left on the axle were the rotors. He did give me all of the mounting hardware I just never installed the ebrake cable before.
