8.25 Rear Disc Conversion with Grand Cherokee parts

[kastein]

make sure you go equipped... the cross shaft retaining bolt in ZJs is either a 5/16" six point (MUST use a six point socket if you want it to come out) or a smallish external torx, I forget which. And the backing plates obviously won't come off unless you get the shafts out, which implies getting the cross shaft out.

You got lucky then. Last time I used an 8mm instead of a 5/16 on one of those, I went home empty handed and covered in gear lube.

Can this be done with a total delete of the parking brake?

It didn't take much to open up the holes. Couple of passes with a die grander. I used 95 disc set up. I went to Napa and got new studs for a Grand with rear disc brakes. I got my parking brake cables from Morris 4x4. I didn't use the Grand brake hoses I used 03 Liberty they don't have the bracket on them. I didn't do anything with my porportioning valve yet. When I did my 87 I cut the spring in the porportioning valve one spring wind.that made a difference on my 87.
