Stupid newbie Q - How hard is a 2nd gen 4-lug to 5-lug conversion?
 

Trying to decide whether to update my 87 or sell it and start over.

Thanks in advance

probably should ask this in the 2nd gen section.

Im in the process of doing it now. Im taking everything off from the steering knuckle and doing the work in my garage and its fairly easy. It took me about 45-60 mins to remove both steering knuckles with everything attached, the strut assembly and disconnect the brake lines. The hardest part IMO was preparing everything for assembly i.e. replacing bearings, repacking them, cleaning up calipers, etc but those are optional. I'll post when its done today or tomorrow and let you know how it feels after :D

Its about 48 times harder than searching.

Lemme know of any tricks or "don't do this because you end up doing 5 times the work" type things you come across.

I'm going to do this to mine. Sheez 4 pot Al brakes, fatter sway bars, and a 4.33:1 LSD rear end for a couple hundred bucks, can't beat it.
