1955 1959 Chevy Truck Cpp Six Lug Brake Kit Lug Nuts Installed
Bada bing! This is the 12-inch rotor/hub assembly complete with the upgraded tapered roller wheel bearings. One of the things that helps CPP keep costs down on the kit is using the stock hub, which is more than capable once these modifications are made.

With nice, clean spindles, CPP's caliper bracket gets bolted to it using the provided Grade 8 hardware. Make sure the bracket goes over the top of the spindle as shown and not from the bottom.

Installing the rotor onto the spindle is just like any other. Put in the outer wheel bearing, large washer, spindle nut, and cotter pin once the nut is tightened down appropriately, and finally place the grease cap.

Now heft the new caliper in place and install the two special caliper bolts. Make sure the bleeder screws are pointing up; this will tell you which side they go on.

There you have it. Hook up the new rubber brake lines, add fluid, bleed, and bed the pads and rotors as per the instructions. If you don't already have a dual-reservoir master cylinder in your truck, now would be a great time to upgrade since you'll most likely need a proportioning valve anyway. CPP can set you up with all of this too, as well as a helpful tech line should you have any questions. What are you waiting for, start stopping!
