They may come off easy or they may put up a fight, if you bring the proper tools it probably won't be a big deal. The problem is that the bus at Bucks is a '75 so it has disc brakes with the small 5-bolt pattern. When I was there last the front end was complete but that was early last week.

I have a question. I know you said you are upgrading to disc brakes, what setup and what bolt pattern are you going with?

I'm going with a front spindle and hub and disk breaks off a 73 i think , Kenny hooked me up with all the stuff i need for it . It will change the bolt pattern to a ? I'm not sure but Kenny ordered me the adapters to return it back to wide five, I'll be running wide fives on factory 14's with 195-60 r14 rubber to help me get a little more drop (1" tire & 21/2" from spindles. Can't wait to see it done. Hubs, new bearings, new disks new pads used calipers and a set of newer hubs, apparently these will bolt right on , i'm gonna see soon , I think I'm gonna try it today.

I was wondering if you were going to run adapters.
Assembly is pretty straight-forward, we had the control arms in and spindles on within 2 hours, and that was setting up and taking our time. Are you running a brake booster?
I'm heading out now to finish up the brakes. Unfortunately I forgot to order bearing seals so I won't get to see it on the ground for another couple days.

yes I am going to run Adapters from reg 5 to wide 5 and no I'm not going to run a break booster unless i need to , I think I'll get it all together first then test it out on a back road some where.
