HFM.Parts
Published by

Included in your adaptor kit:


2x 75mm Hex Head Bolt w/ 2x 28mm Support Spacer
4x 70mm Hex Head Bolt
2x 45mm Hex Head Bolts
8x M14 Washers (used on all bolts)
2x HFM.Parts Caliper Adaptors
P/N: Z33AKE354-& Z33AKE354-R
L = LHS and R = RHS

Procedure

  1. Begin by removing your existing rotor and caliper and clean your hub face with a wire brush, brake cleaner and some sandpaper to remove any surface rust.
    * Do not skip this step as it is impetrative in preventing rotor runout!
  2. Cut your backing plate to make room for the larger caliper. You can follow our image below to cut the least amount possible, or you can cut more away.
  3. Sort out your provided HFM.Parts bolt kit and Caliper Adaptor. Refer to the images provided to assemble the bolts and spacers correctly.
  4. Use LockTite 262 or equivalent for all bolts.
  5. Bolt the Adaptor to the inside of the knuckle and tighten by hand. Do not fully tighten this bolt yet!
  6. Using the 75mm Bolt and 28mm Spacer, mount the Adaptor to the knuckle making sure the cut-out of the spacer is facing the caliper. This will help to align the Caliper’s top mounting hole to rest into the spacer’s cut-out. Then, tighten both the top and bottom bolts properly – but without using the torque wrench, as we will be removing the Caliper again. This will set the Support Spacer up to be torqued into place.
  7. Then, torque the Caliper Adaptor bolts at 58 – 62 ft-lbs, which will also lock the Support Spacer into place.
  8. Remove the Caliper and install the rotor, holding it in place using a lug nut.
  9. Re-install the Caliper and torque both bolts to 58 – 62 ft lbs.
  10. When using this adapter/brake kit, your original brake lines will be fully extended. To ensure there is no interference, we recommend purchasing the HFM.Parts Extended Braided Brake Lines along with your adapter/brake kit.
