I've got the front done and put back together. Booster, master, rotors, calipers, pads all new but hubs were in good shape so put those back together and they seem to be working fine. This was my first go with manual hubs so I'm counting it as a win that I don't hear any odd noises and they are functioning properly.

Thanks for the help.

Rear drums are next on the list but going to do more research on them before ordering the parts.

Don’t buy new drums if you don’t need to. Turn them if they’re still within spec thickness. I bought a spring kit for like $10 when I did mine so all the moving parts could be fresh.

Did you replace the hose from the frame to the caliper? I thought I had a firm grip on the inside but didn't and busted the hard line. Now I need to run new from the master but still cant get the dang connection apart where the hard and soft lines meet at the frame!? Any advice?
