    What all does it take to swap the front spindles? Found a Maverick close and guy is willing to sell me his front spindles as long as I replaced them with mine. I was wondering about how long does it take and what all tools I need. Any special tools? Sorry for the inexperience. But fairly young with not much mechanic experience

    If the swap requires the 75 having brakes when you finish it'll be a PITA, brake line coupling size is different from disc to drum brakes...

    Na. I just have to put em on. The guy plans on putting it in a derby. So Im trying to get all the parts I can. He only wants 70 for the front spindles. And from what I been seeing. That's a steal
