5 Lug Conversion
5 Lug Conversion
Anyone have any info on 5 Lugs Conversions.... CHECKED THE SEARCH really didnt find what i was looking for, it always just turns up CRAP anyway... so i actually didnt find much at all....
Ok from someone that has done it before if you have a S4 I'm pretty sure you only have a single piston for a caliper if you don't that is great but i think you do. You want to get the wheel hub, dual pistons more like 4 pistons for the whole caliper, a grease gun, and a couple of cotta pins. What you want to do first is remove the wheel, then remove the caliper, from there you want to take off that center cap in the center of the wheel hub I usually use a screw driver and a hammer so you can get the cap off, then once you have that off remove the cotta pin it might be hard to find it with all the grease on it, then take off the little cover from the nut, then remove the nut a spark plug socket would do great and remove the nut and the wheel hub should come off and do it the exact same way but reverse but use new grease and a new cotta pin.

Get the whole front Spindle and brake assembly.that way you don't screw with grease.You POP the Tie rod,Ball joint,and the two strut nuts and replace the whole front assembly As ONE. For the back you remove the Two 17 mm Bolts that hold the Spindle to the control arm.You have to Remove the Rotor to get at the 21 mm Toe Bolt(replace the Bushing with DTSS bushings),Remove the brake bracket too..The Axle nut is 32 mm.The FRONT brake should get New flex lines and the small steel Line to the caliper.You can Swap without it,but it is up to you(I have done it).
