Fun fun!

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thank you Thank you!

[@Chevys_5593]

Man what a great video. Did my 55 Chevy and was questioning how I done it until I saw this! Thanks a ton for sharing.

[@MyLegacyGarage]

Handy dandy camera work Rebecca! Pretty yummy brake kit too. I'ma own something that nice someday. 🤣

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

We all strive to own something like that. Rebecca says thanks.

[@WillsWheels]

A great demonstration video and I loved watching it!

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thank you glad you enjoyed it, tried to make it informative

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Nice work Roy ! I always give the inner race a twist after the first go and palm them again.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

That's a good point, thanks for the suggestion

[@CCAutoWorks]

Those are big time super nice

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thank you.

[@RustyGlovebox]

That's a great looking kit Roy. Nice job on the install

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thanks Lloyd appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.

[@blueridgehollow2510]

Lookin Good! 👍

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

thank you.

[@jessilung8589]

Awesome work Roy. Thanks for sharing the many tips, information (and challenges you faced) which you give, adds a lot to the video.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thank you very much I like to bring to light the steps needed to put a kit like that in

[@CCAutoWorks]

Nice work Roy I'm going to look to see if maybe they have a kit like this for a Mustang

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Yes my friend bought a similar kit for a '65

[@1950specialdeluxe]

Great job on packing the wheel bearings. That’s the same way I was taught.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

I think it's the best way to do it

[@louisedford2]

Great attention to detail. Enjoyed this a lot.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thanks very much Louis

[@PaulDaFox]

Super informative and great camera angles! With you now and bell is on - great video✊🏼🏁

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thank you I'm trying to make it informative, and welcome.

[@Jlau414]

Great Video, Thank you!

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

you're welcome.

[@andrewhibbert1848]

Happy (belated) Birthday, Roy. I think I was over by your place the day of, I meant to call, but my cell was dead. Hope we can talk soon, say hi to the fam for me.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Cool, we will have to watch up sometime.

[@gertraba4484]

Qwik tip use a zip lock bag. Put glob of grease in it and toss bearing in and work grease into sides keeping yoy clean

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Yes it does too. I still like that feel of making sure it’s getting in. But what you’re suggesting works good too

[@HammerHeadGarage]

Hey, thanks for the sub! right back at ya man.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

hope to have more up soon for you to watch. thanks for joining in the fun.

[@duaneovern4130]

Good tutorial and nice mod on the wheel studs.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thanks Duane.

[@IronHorseGarage]

Awesome setup!!! Nice work!!!

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thank you.

[@indyme2]

Need to wash some of my projects. They are looking rough! Cool video, Roy.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thanks, hopefully some washing will happen on your end and the projects will look like new.

[@MagnaMachineWorks]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! What a nice kit! It should stop way better than the stock drums now!

[@MagnaMachineWorks]

PS, loved the out takes!

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thanks, I still like drum brakes though. Thanks the outtakes comment

[@jasonharold5568]

Great work here man. I like how you pack the wheel bearings- I was taught that way too.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Thanks for watching, a lot of people seem to have been taught that way (or somewhat close)

[@gertraba4484]

I use zip lock bags for grease and pop bearing in

[@bigbellyrebuilds2778]

This is all very interesting. You do a great job explaining it in step-by-step fashion! 👏👏👏👏👏 A great tutorial video! Ruthie B. Howard June 14, 2021 BIG BELLY REBUILDS and TRUCKING

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

thank you for the kind comment. I’m hoping to put up more videos like this.

[@gertraba4484]

U go dual master cyl

[@autobez3132]

Great content subscribed ASAP # 🚗 🚘

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

thanks. looking forward to yours as well.

[@jack002tuber]

Nice work. I like the lug nut conversion. So you said the brake line was 60 inches? I think you mean 60 mm. I have packed bearings like that before, the only way to go. Other brake conversions I've seen for tri fives put the wheel further out from center, this looks like it doesn't or not as much.

[@EfurdGarage]

Something you dont see alot. People packing grease. Wilwood always look good

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Yes, wilwood does make nice stuff, and yes you don't see people packing grease.

[@davidlis6709]

Don't quite understand why the rotors didn't come with the studs in the right location. It is the same for 14 and 15 inch wheels. Why didn't you take off the control arms and do the bushings at the same time. Does this kit extend out the wheels by an inch or two or does it leave it in the original position? That is how I was taught to pack wheels bearings. Why use a tool, this is easy and works good. Thanks

[@CoastalAutoReactionCAR]

Old girl is gonna stop good now!

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Yes she will.

[@adietrich7624]

Does this Wilwood kit work with the original stock wheels and tire sizes?

[@brian55lvr]

fyi this kit isnt made for a sway bar---the calipers have to go in rear of spindles for sway bar--- i made it happen thou

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Good to know, because the customer would like to put a sway bar in, and I think you could flip them with a bit of work.

[@andyduomo9229]

Roy how is that C-50 doing?

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

Good, I'll have a U-joint video up soon.

[@westlabanuelos4990]

Roy one question are u out in California LA area😂

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

no, Edmonton Alberta.

[@fiddlerpin]

You won’t be able to use a front sway bar if the calipers are mounted towards the front.

[@RoyMarkosGarageRMG]

With this customer provided kit, it mounts the callipers forward, personally it was not first choice as the way the kit is made it, the callipers will hit the steering knuckle.
