Five lug swap 5 lug swap, Info in this thread!

My car needs two new front calipers, and 4 tires all the way around. I figure I might as well 5 lug swap it, its a 1986 base model. I'm looking for part numbers I can use to find at local auto shops, think autozone, oriley, napa.

I've swear I've searched google, I've searched this page with no avail at ALL. A write up would be nice too! This should be stuck to the top if we get enough info. I'll edit this post as I go along with more info! Thanks

You need:

Fonts:
-Five lug hubs
-Inner and outer bearings, grease seal
-4 piston calipers
-5 lug TII/GXL rotors
-Brake pads
-Misc: brake caliper hardware kit, copper crush washers, cotter pins, grease

The rear is more complicated. You will need the help of a machine shop to press the old wheel hubs out of the toe control hub. The toe control hub will need to be removed from the car which necessitates removing the axle shafts and some fairly hefty bolts. You need:

-5 lug hubs
-wheel bearings, grease seal
-caliper bracket
-calipers, pads
-5 lug rotors
-Misc: new axle nuts, copper crush washers, grease, Loctite

Mazdatrix has an extensive website which includes all these parts. Also, the FAQ contains links to the Mazda parts catalog.

thanks for the webpage, I'm an rx7 nub. Comming from a DSM, ran 10.7@130 no nitrous, but handled like a truck. Going the opisite way with the 7, gonna just do basic I/H/E and just work on wheels/tires/suspension/breaks. Already put a factory LSD in my base model.

BTW I've used advanced seared.
