Rear brake guts swap? April 18, 2009, 07:43:56 PM So I have an 8.8 from an '89 Mustang GT, and when I got it, the guts of the drum brakes were all gone, even the park brake cables.The Sport that the rear is going under has the 7.5 with 10 inch drums, and I also have a 7.5 with 9" drums under the white car.My question is this: does anyone know if either set of the components will swap to the Stang rear?This is just a fast question to see if it's even feasible. I'd just go pull the drums off the white car, but it's sitting with no springs or shocks on soft ground, and would be a PITA to jack it up to just look at it...:hick: Quote Selected

Reply #2 – April 18, 2009, 10:28:03 PM like Vinnie said. just swap over the brakes from your car to the 8.8" leaving the parking brakes attached. you will need to pop the rear cover off, unbolt the crosspin, slide it out, push the axles in toward the center, retrieve the c-clips, then slide the axles out before, you can unbolt the "brake assy.".
