So, the rear brake swap turns out to be easy or hard, depending on what order you do it in. Of course I find out how easy it is after doing it the wrong way first. Since I am replacing the e-brake shoes, I found that its the easiest to do with the e-brake assembly off the spindle and with the hub off. This of course is obvious to me only after I put on the one side. Sheeesh!!!
For all you readers out there, if you ever decide to do this, start by taking apart the Z32 rear brakes/ebrake, replacing the pads in the caliper, than doing the ebrake, trim off the splash shields, as they are most likely rusted. Than go over to the car, proceed to remove the caliper, rotor, splash shield, than the hub. Replace in the opposite order.
This way will save you some time, agrivation and you can be rolling on your new brakes sooner.
