How to Install Rear Rotor & CalipersDOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in Saint Louis at Doug Jenkins' Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now, Mark's going to install the rotor and the brake caliper on the right rear of this GTO for the disc brake upgrade. The way the kit works on this one, they sent us a universal style rear rotor. You see it has two bolt patterns on it. It'll go on a couple of different models of cars that way. It may just pop right on. It's, you call it a hat when you're doing this kind of a disc brake adaptation. So they sent us a dual-purpose hat here, we put that on there and the brackets all line up just perfectly. Mark is going to just bolt it on with these 2 bolts with a hex on them, that's typical GM style. A lot of them, we don't get this, the kit quite this spectacularly well engineered and we have to weld brackets on the axle. This one's a real efficient, real smart job. All he's got to do is drive two bolts and you got yourself a brake caliper and you're done.
