New Blazer Brakes

[nickygn23]

Before you buy those I would ask around and double check. A friend of mine used the ford stuff and he wasn't happy with fitment. Like I said before just start calling Chevy parts departments. They can track them down for you. . Just takes time. If you look and the beginning of the thread I provided part numbers for the whole swap.

I do not know the part number. However I know they can easily be found at Napa. No one could ever find me the Blazer hub bolts.....not even the dealer. I actually found out when I replaced the front hubs on a buddy's explorer. The new hubs came with new bolts so I used the old ones on my blazer spindles.

I'm liking that black coated rotor look! Very nice!

Thank you . The black coating wears off after the first mile and leaves the dimples and slots blaCK

From timo22's post:

I have several sets of Blazer front spindles and hardware for doing an upgrade on GBody front disc brakes.
The set includes the following parts:
2 Spindles w/ 6 hub bearing bolts
2 Dust Shields
2 Caliper Brackets w/ 2 bolts for spindles and 2 bolts for calipers
2 Brake Hose Brackets w/ bolts and clips
To upgrade your brakes ,you will need hub bearings, rotors, calipers,pads, and brake rubber lines.. I also recommend getting brake lineadapters . (Edelman 258340) These adapters allow you to connect your hard lines to the Blazer brake hoses.
I do not supply the rotors , bearings, or calipers due to they are always in debatable condition, but the junkyards charge you like they are good. These parts also would add considerable weight when shipping.
The sets are $125.00 plus shipping. If you are interested, send me your zip code for a ship rate..Thanks for looking, Timo22

I contacted TIMO22 and he's sending me a set Thanks for the lead on that one.

I know this question has been asked a couple of times before - but does anyone have the part number for the 3 bolts that hold the bearing assembly on the spindle - every time I think I have the correct part number I wind up not getting the correct part - im going to go broke buying bolts here soon
thanks in advance

 

[nickygn23]

Jeff. Just call any Chevy parts dept in your area. Tell them you are looking for wheel hub bolts for a 98-05 S-10 Blazer 2wd. They can track them down for you. I threw out the packing mine came in, that's how you will get a part number and they can get them for you.

I just received a set from Timo22. I noticed some threads (M12 -1.75) by (2” long) could have seen better days and maybe these pics could help.

** corrected to from 2 3/8" to 2" long bolt.

thanks everyone for the info on the bolts - i for some reason in my old age thought that the bolts were not available from GM anymore - ill check them out tomorrow

BTW- Bolt with a head on it is measured under the "head" to the end. UHL is what they are referenced by.

studs without a head is overall length (OAL)

Which brake hoses did you use? I did this swap and the stock brake hoses aren't working for me.
