Cone bumper is on hold because the metal cutter is jammed, and I need to cut the crashbar by 1/3..

Anyways I started on the rear brake swap. Heres how I did it:

Took the wheel off...



Used a clamp to clamp the brake line before taking off the brake bolt.



To get the two bolts holding the capliper I used the HEX extension, its very hard to take the bolts off with a normal allen key (its size 14mm)



Its off, side by side with the ST205 capliper, suprisingly the stock capliper is heavier than the ST205... Took the disc off the ST205 assembly.



Slammed it on just to see how small our stock disc is.



The ST205 disc was scrapping the dustshield so I took a hammer and slammed it, only to relised that the whole thing needs to come off coz once I hammered it I cant align the caliper to the hole. The dustshield isnt welded all the way around (thank god ), it has interval welded-joints and that made the removal process so much easier, I used a flathead screwdriver and hammer to dislocate the weld-joints. A 5 minutes job. I used a metal cutter to cut the remaining of the joints.





Everything is on, now I need to fix the offset. I'll probably use spacer(s) to align the caliper to the middle.



To be continued...
