Brake Adjustments?

I was told when installing the new brakes (5 lug conversion) since they are bigger that i have to adjust the braking pressure or something like that? If thats true can someone show me a pick of where the adjusting piece is and a how-to adjust it so its properly set. I will b looking through the haynes manual but I like to get info frum more then one source to confirm, Thanks.

Don't worry the 5 lugs wont effect any thing other than the braking power. Well thats from my experince any ways. Good luck on the swap!!

there is nothing to adjust. you'd have to change the brake proportionality valve. I don't know if they are different or not between 4 and 5 lug.

if you are chaning both the front and rear to 5 lug it's probably fine. if you are only changing the front you might have too much power on the front. but nothing would fix that. as no stock part is ment to control one of each.

it might be a good idea to change the brake master cylinder though if they are different.
