ls1 brake conversion help!!!

any tips on the conversion or on the caliper rebuild would be very helpful!!!
thanks

If you have the ABS still connected, you have to dissassemble the whole spindle assembly, and switch the LT1 hub onto it, then put it back together. It is not hard to do. The LT1 brake line brackets on the engine frame are different. I took them completely off, and just connected the brake lines to the caliper, and ziptied them to the holes where the brackets were. Everything works fine, and everythying clears.
ok so I have to take the hub assembly apart, and put the lt1 hub in the ls1 knuckle. that is so the abs sensor will hook up right? then after that is is pretty much exchange stuff. I have the ls1 brake line bracket, that wont work?

That should work, I didn't have them pieces. The LT1 and LS1 hubs are different, that is why you have to switch them out. I don't have front ABS, so mine didn't matter. Everything bolts back together, control arms, tie rods, etc...

u dont have to change out the hub..
I took my bros off his wrecked 98 t/a and used his calipars and spindles and brake line.
Took mine off and just swapped everything even my brake line. Only thing i have to do was bend the metal brakes line that was attached to the frame and undo one bolt from it. NOt that hard at all.
