hey guys, i just got a set of 06 blaster hydros for the front....they should just be a bolt on but i'll take some pics and post them to show you how it goes. got any questions pm me....or if you have any advice i'll take that too...
 
e bay...these things look like they came off of a brand new machine...and they came with everything..hoses, master cylinder, spindles...for 240 shipped. i've been watching for these things for a long time and its a fair price considering in how great of shape they are in and for what comes with it...i've seen just the hubs with no calipers go for 80 bucks a piece
 
also...if anyone has done this conversion post on here with any advice or tips
 
from what i know, it should just bolt on in place of your stock spindles.

then you have to fish the lines in... but its real easy.

i have a complete front setup for sale from a 2003... new bearings/seals and brake pads installed. $300 shipped

you got a real good deal on that setup for $240
 
yea i know thats why i did it....i did a OBO on e bay and actually won... i was suprised. Do you are anyone else reading this know what kind of brake fluid that you should use? i am guessing any kind will work but it never hurts to ask since i dont have a manual or specs for the newer models.
 
ok...i already ran into a problem....for those of you wondering if these will bolt right on to any year....wont work...lol....turns out the shaft on the newer style blaster bottom a arm is theaded and a castle nut holds it in place....i have an 88 blaster and my spindle clamps on to the shaft of the a arm joint....so now i need to figure out how to get around this...any body got any ideas? i haven't tried to put it on yet so idk if i can thread the shaft or not...its just something i noticed from looking at it and exploded diagrams of the 03 and up suspension. obviously, i know i can get the newer a arms but i'd rather not unless someone has them for cheap and they are in great shape...shoot me your sugesstions and hopefully this cleared up some stuff for people wondering if this will work!

If anyone has any pictures of their 03 and newer blasters front brakes you can send them to sbugajsk@gmail.com...i'd like to see a real picture to help out with this....mainly just for where the lower a arm bolts on the the spindle...thanks guys!
