8.8 rebuild

[thehighheat]

i killed my old 8.8 and got a great deal for a used 8.8, i went to yard and got one for $250, but i forgot to keep some parts off the old 8.8 i now need:
calipers
pads
backing plates
brake lines
where could i get these?
i checked around locally and i found that places only carried pads not even calipers, are there any good online places for this or do i have to go to the stealership?

howd you shatter the 8.8? that musta taken a LOT! but for pads & calipers i would check pep-boys. and for the brakelines and backing plates i would check the same yard and see if they have any.

Have you tried advance auto parts?

I got rebuilt calipers for my BII there for 13 bucks a piece.

 

[thehighheat]

advance auto didn't even have rear calipers, i may have to get you to buy some for me and ship them over here

 

[thehighheat]

are all ford 8.8 rear calipers the same? like could i get parts off of a brono 2 8.8 or a older 8.8 and still have them work on my 2000?

 

[Jason_25]

The only ones that will fit yours are ones a from a 95-2001 explorer.

The BII doesn't have an 8.8, it has the 7.5.

I will call around locally here and see what I can come up with.

 

[thehighheat]

thanx, i appreciate it much

 

[thehighheat]

where should i go to get u-bolts and u-bolt plates? along with spring perches? thanx

 

[Jason_25]

Why don't you use the ones that were with your old axle and springs?

 

[thehighheat]

bent them and broke them

dayyyum......

Auto parts store should for sure have these things....

If not, a local junkyard will.

The problem with buying the calipers at a store is that the core charge will kill you. Something like $100! And without a core you're screwed.

Just curious, how did you ruin your 8.8 in a 2000 model?
Also Happy birthday tomorrow. We share the same day, just a few years differance though. Well ok... more than a few years.
