How to do a Brake Caliper Flip

The audio in this is inconsistent, so my apologies for that.

This shows how to flip your rear calipers prior to outboarding shocks.

When I did mine, rather than cut the tab off the brake hose (at approximately the 7:30 mark in your video), I drilled a new hole in the bracket on the axle for the tab to sit in.

Just watched the outboarding video. That's a lot of grinding.

Yes. It sucks. But it's the price to pay for admission. I considered using my plasma but would be grinding still. Use a thin kerf blade and it's not that bad.

great write up, buddy and I are about to do this. Just ordered the flip kit from Blaine. Very helpful video and write up, low key I'm most excited that the parking brake may work better.

This worked great for me - only took two weeks!
