Hello. I've acquired a rear axle with disk brakes from the junkyard, and looking for info on plumbing the system.

I have a 97 Blazer LS 4x4, so the proportioning valve is in the ABS Module. Do I need to do anything special to the hydraulic system to make these work? Will I need to get an ABS module from a truck that has disc brakes from factory, or will the disk brakes be more-or-less plug and play?

Thanks!

 

Plug and play for the hydraulics. E-Brake hook is different between drum and disk brakes. I converted my 89 S15 from rear drum to disk brakes. I used the disk brake cable wire inside the drum brake cable housing. I accomplished this by cutting off the cable stop and running the cable through the disk brake wire through the drum brake cable housing and crimping on a new cable stop to connect the cable to the E-Brake equalizer.

 

Below is my write up of my rear drum brake to disc conversion. There are 2 ways to connect the E brake. One is using a disk cable inside the drum housing and crimping a new cable stop on or make or have an adapter made for connecting to the rear actuator. there was person making the adapters on this forum but I do not know if he is still doing it.

Sean was custom fabricating the adapters in the pic below to connect to the disk brake actuator. I do not know if he is still doing this but you could email him. This was on the S10 Forum
