Anybody got a good tech article on the Lincoln brakes?

That's what I heard, saw 'em and HAD to grab 'em! What do I need to install(or mod)

Just put everything you took off the junker onto your truck. Anything that's broken, rusted, or worn - replace it with new: pads, hoses, bolts, clips... I'd probably also turn the calipers in as cores on remans, and only use the junk cast brackets (after sandblasting & powdercoating).

I don't have them - these are just pics I've collected over the years.

Which junk yard did you go to?

Thanks Steve! That answers one of the three questions I have:

Are they axles the same length/spline/bearing size? Or do I need have the caliper brackets pressed onto mine?

Are the Lincoln's 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern? There were a couple more (I think 78 or 79) and I believe one of them still had the front and rear disks. Worth getting?

Hey J,
Got your pm, but hadn't had a chance to respond. I went to the willmington pick your part. Was gonna go to sun valley, but too much traffic. It worked out in my favor;D I guess LA traffic is good for something! I wasn't looking for chevy disks, so didn't really notice. Willmington is alot smaller than sun valley, but damn there were alot of ford product!!! I might go back in am, if you want I'll try to scope out the Chevys

Where is the one in willmington? I need ford parts to finish up.

Lincoln's are not 5x5x5. You will need to get the Lincoln rotors re-drilled to the correct pattern. You will also need to remove the bearings from the Lincoln axles to get the caliper brackets off.

Thanks, thats what I thought, but when read Steve's post, I started fantasizing about bolts-ins

Will I need to fab spacers like the explorer rears, or will these bolt on besides the disk re-drill

Because of the difference in thickness of the backing plates, there should be an extra spacer added when installing these on your Bronco.

Keep in mind that because you need to remove the bearings from the axles to get the caliper brackets off, you will also need to remove the bearings from your Bronco axles in order to get the caliper brackets on.

There is a solution to this if you are willing to notch the caliper brackets so they slide over the axles inbetween the bearing and flange.

Finally, the lincoln rotors will not slip over the flanges on stock EB axles. You will need to turn the axle flanges down so they fit inside the rotors. You can have a machine shop do this, or install your axles, jack up the rear of your bronco, start it, put it in first gear so the rear axles turn, set an angle grinder on a jack stand behind the axle flange and grind as the axle turns. I used this method, and while it took a few hours, it did work and cost me next to nothing.

I would like to see that meathod used!

Take some pictures if you try to grind down the axles that way.

Very creative.
