Brake Caliper Rebuild

Tech article by Jason Rodgers (Gummi Bear)
We’ve all had brake problems at one point or another, sometimes even the caliper is needing to be replaced. I’m going to show you how to rebuild one, to save the cost of a rebuilt unit. This is inexpensive, and pretty easy to do. Once you [...]

Brake Fluid Catch Can

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Tech article by Jason Rodgers (Gummi Bear)
No fancy tools necessary, no expensive stuff either…Pick up your favorite drink in a plastic bottle, a length (about 3′) of 3/16″ vinyl tubing, a 1/4″ drill bit, the tiniest drill bit you have (I had a 1/16″), and some super glue {see Picture 1}.

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Tech article by TOFIC
Some of you have asked about the rear disc brakes for your Bronco’s. Below is a summation of about 5 years worth of research and experimentation with 2 totally different rear disc brake systems, both of the original FORD equipment on their respectitive vehicles.

Routing Brakes Lines – Chevy Discs

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Tech article by Tim Bowsher (Broncobowsher)

Tech article by Jesse Bauman bronko69er
After multiple inquiries on how I did this, I figured it was time to use all the pics I took and write a tech article. I’ll preface the article with a short statement about the exact application, and what I started with.
I installed this set up on a 1969 Bronco [...]

Hydroboost Brakes

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Tech article by TOFIC
Wandering the wild country one day, I stopped in a small town to acquire some fuel and liquid refreshment, and discovered the scrap metal dump just outside town. In amongst the derelict refrigerators and lawn mowers was a 1976 Mercury Grande Marquis Station Wagon. Ah Ha says I, maybe a source of [...]

Tom’s Bronco Parts Power Brake Booster

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Product Review by Jon Hanna (Admin)

Recently I installed the “No Modify” Power Brake Kit from Tom’s Bronco Parts and have been very happy with the results. In addition to being a nice kit, what really sold me was the fact that the booster design fits with no fender modification.
The kit was very complete [...]

Rear Disc Brakes – Cadillac/GM calipers

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Tech article by Lars Pedersen (Lars)
The addition of rear disc brakes is a popular upgrade for early Broncos. Lots of creative people have accomplished this mod using components from Lincolns, Cadillacs, Ford Explorers and others. These days it’s easier than ever due to the availability of commercial kits that include everything needed for the swap. [...]

Front Disc Brake Conversion using all Ford parts

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Tech article by Ryan Flud
I searched high and low for a disc brake conversion kit for my ’73 Bronco. It seems virtually everybody sells the Chevy/Ford conversion, not to mention they charge about $800 +tax and shipping. I don’t mind using parts from other vehicles to make an upgrade or modification but I do want [...]
