Default 5 Lug Conversion

Ok I got all of the parts I need for the conversion:

SN95: spindles
rotors
callipers
pads

and the lmr rear conversion

My question is will I need SN brake hoses?
And how do I get the c-clips out of the rear diff?

take the wheels off and push the axle in, then they'll practically fall out.

ORIGINAL: mattdel

somewhat wrong u need to like said push wheels in , pull diff cover off, and yes unbolt the little bolt from the pin that goes through the rac loc and then pull that pin out and then youll be able to push the axle in a little more and then u can pull the c clip off thier and remove axle...

as far as the brake hose i do not know..?

You need two driver's side sn95 brake hoses to make it work. Worked like a charm.

Thefittings you screw the lines into are the same size on each side of the fox mustang. The SN95 fittings are different on each side. The fitting on the drivers side of the SN95 matches the Fox fittings, so...purchasing two driver's side hoses is the fix. Believe it or not the hard line bends of the hoses on the driver's side fit the passenger side extremely well.
