First I was like; I can do that, I can do that, and then the special tools and the grinder came out, I was like; never mind, moving on to a different project.
In here, many buses change drum brake to disc brake. Because they could change the shoe of the drum 2~3 buses only in one day. For the disc brake, less than 20 minutes to complete one bus.
Good morning to all. 1/2 comments for this video. My first min watching I personally wasn't happy what I noticed right away especially being in a shop/exc. Z87 were made for a reason. they are safety glasses. I attended Auto-Tech at MJC in California. My True Story, exactly in this video, I went to my hands on Brake class. the reason for this one, if you forward to I believe 6+ min were the two are changing the rear drum. I'm up to get my credit for the class, well during the step by step process i was removing the main spring, as I was using the spring pliers I had to pull on the pliers towards my l-shoulder, my partner happened to be were, l.s.s, both rear drums were rusted. Pliers slipped { picture if it if you can} remember we're my partner was standing at, we both didn't except it. Right to his left eye directly. Dazed him for a good 5+ min. this was back in 08.

If you want to do a drum to disc conversion on a Tundra, check out Silver Mine Motors. They have a great kit. As with all disc brake conversion, the assembly of the emergency brake is a real pain. I suggest placing the axle assembly in a vertical jig, ( I used a tall traffic cone) to stop the pieces from falling while attempting to assemble. Afterward, just install the axle. Makes the job much easier. I also recommend replacing the axle bearings and seals. When the old one is pressed out, the old backing plate will come off as well. One thing of importance to remember, there is a right side and left side axle and, if you reverse the anti-lock brake gear, the computer will think you are going backwards.
Thanks for your comment! The original drum brake of your 2018 surely works okay. A disc brake in the rear, just like FJ Cruiser will bring a better experience. Safety drive is always the best!!!
Unique Power International i totally agree with you mate it offers both the drums and disk brake all in one piece this is what toyota should have been doing with the tacoma, tundra and 4runner also the sequoia
@@UniquepowerTwUnique-Power Explain “how” it will be a better driving experience, and what does “safety drive” mean,..we should take your unexplained opinion that all this work is beneficial but yet you cannot spell correctly much less proof read.
Ahh..the infamous “Rear disc conversion”..brakes turn into steel braided lines turns into turns into axles, turns into locker turns into three linked turns into full on LS swapped trailered buggy queen..😁
I have read some of the comments about why to convert drum to disc....well let me tell you this...I have a hunt camp and the last 400 m or so is a real muddy potholed road....I am talking real mud holes and so when I leave my truck at the lake for several days and then come back.....my rear wheels are locked...locked so bad that i drag them in 4 lo and they dont turn a millimetre. I have taken my truck to the dealer and they recommend a brake cleaning....so i got a taco 4x4 to go to camp and off road. Disc brakes are self cleaning more or less...I will ditch the drums within the year or so. My drum brake lock is caused by a fault with the ABS and this only happens with mud and water....this is what one mechanic i work with told me. I am not sure why this happens but it has happened 2 or 3 times now in last 2 years. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem with a taco truck?
Normally, drum brake is more resistant to the mud. But weak to the water. It will be effective after drawing the water out. Drum brake is efficient only heat and water are its weak points.
That was cool. Way over my capabilities. I’ll stick to drums on my Tacoma and suck it up. Lol. I just hate doing drum brakes but not as much as converting them
hi thanks for you reply I mentioned it cause I'm tired of changing rear drums shoes on my 2010 Hyundai accent and sad cause nobody sells upgrade kits for my accent
+Dario Mendoza Agree with you. In drum in disc system, shoe only functions for parking. Changing brake pad and disc is much easier and disc brake can reduce the nose drive phenomenon. We need to collect more users to support molds and toolings' cost. Thank you.
where and how can I buy this kit? this is by far the nicest rear disk conversion I have seen for the tacoma! I found a UPI web page, but I do not see any buy kit options?
Apart for the look, i don't see why anyone would do this kit. Huge job to install, prob pretty expensive too. Drums last way longer. Only reason i see is for someone that does serious towing but then again you trailer will most likely have brakes or youd need a bigger truck.
Thanks for your commands, I agree with you in some points. You could compare Tundra/FJ vs. Tacoma ; F-series vs. Ranger ; old colorado vs. current colorado to find out the difference. There are too many examples from car manufacturers and easy to find out. Our video is close to a bearing exchanging process as a repair process alway does and showing all the details. If you have a chance to drive a 4 discs Tacoma, you might willing to tell us some new experiences. Thank you!
FYI... another channel has re-uploaded this video and hasn't given you credit for it. Ditmike is the channel name, and the video is titled "$300 Brake Upgrade Vs $2000 Big Brake Kit"
We checked that the direction of the cable into the drum is vertical compares to parallel for current model. Our kit only supports year 2005 on. The Hilux has the same problem, too. Sorry that we couldn't support previous model.
The drum brake are more reliable for vehicles with heavy loads. The only disadvantage of the drum is that it's lag phenomenon. "Drum in Disc" is the best for pickup. Thanks!
How come the guy pressing in the new bearings with the hydraulic press had his face about a foot away from the axle shaft/bearing and he wasn't wearing safety glasses or goggles? Not a smart idea. Just my opinion.
Thank you for reminding. It's not possible to contain all the processes for one video in 3~5 minutes. Convert one kit is a slightly complicated than O.E. changing the bearing.
In order to use the original cable and the original rim, a smaller drum brake is needed. For matching the new drum, the new disc and calipers have to be redesigned. Yes, this is a brand new system.
Consulted our engineer. Their lengths are basically different, and we have not made this attempt. In theory, parts of the same year can be installed with a high probability. If you do this, a new problem will occur, that is, the wheelbase of the front and rear axles will be different. Thank you!
Is this drum to disc conversion kit compatible with 2002 Toyota Tacoma. The 2002 - 2004 appear to have the same setup, only differs with the 2005 model year.
Looks like a great kit. Have a question. why did you grind on the Axel in? i have a 2007 Tacoma trd sport 4x4 4.0 v6 with tow package. How much for the kit?
Thanks for your compliment. To grind is to take the rest part of bearing off and not damage the Axle. Price issue please contact : info@unique-power.com.tw for detail. Thanks!
So you end up with both drum and disc? I always assumed it would be one or the other, not both. Isn't it possible to just convert from drum to disc, without new drum shoes?
It is called "Drum in Disc" system. The drum is stuck on the inner side of the disc and is driven by the hand brake cable. It generates a braking power on the shoe and inside area of the disc. The two devices operate independently, and the two forces can be added together in emergency cases.
+Unique Power International X-runner is lugs = 5, pitch = 114.3, center hole diameter = 60. The center hole is too small for our current mold, not available in this moment.
Shouldn't let your mechanics use their hands as hammers to hit wrenches. Can cause some pretty bad nerve damage. And thanks to work comp you end up owning those busted hands.
Please refer to our website on "Technical data / Type 1" category for installation guide. Or more about Tacoma at : unique-power.com.tw/toyota-tacoma-drum-brakes/
Thanks for your commands ! You are absolutely right ! It is really not an easy job to build a kit, especially, without re-installing the cable is the most difficult design piece. We do much effort to reduce the the cost and the list price for sedan should less than 800 and less 1.6k for pickup per set. We had worked for AP Racing agent here for more than 10 years. To change the rear is much more effective than the front, especial vehicles like Golf, Focus, Mazda 3,5 ........ they need a new hand brake mechanism when takes the original caliper off. The most impressive case is a Tacoma user wanted to upgrade its front brake for more braking power. When he installed our conversion kit, he satisfy the total braking power and give up his upgrade plan of the front. For most luxury vehicles, drum in disc is the only system for their rear brakes., You can see pickup exists drum only or drum in disc system. (Drum is important !) This is why we try to collect the vehicles to drum in disc system and we are the only fools in the world.
This kit fits Tacoma from year 2005 to current Tacoma. The 4runner is based entirely off of the Toyota Hilux. Need to do more research on it, no 4runner in our region. Please contact info@unique-power.com.tw for more information. Thank!
Our current kit only supports Tacoma year 2005 on. The direction of the cable into the drum is parallel compares to vertical of the previous model. To open molds for this kit needs a certain quantity to cover all the cost. The Hilux has the same problem, too. Sorry that we don't have a kit support your vehicle.
Please refer to our website: www.unique-power.com.tw The parking brake (by handle) and hydraulic brake (by peddle) are working separately. Double system is doubly safe. Most luxury vehicles installed the same system - drum in disc system. On the other hand, upgrade to 4 pot caliper is possible without losing the parking brake. The drum brake is good, but it has a lag problem. Especially, in sudden brake cases. Yes, 4 disc brake type is helpful on braking.
The massive increase in “Cool factor” is what brings you to a stop. There are drawbacks with one being having to to sudden swerving and lane changes due to the amount of panties the ladies are dropping when they see you coming. 😂
+Nguyen Jade We are planning to study conversion kit for Ford Ranger. (We have taken the measurement of this vehicle already) Unfortunately, we could not find the parts no. of this bearing. Is anyone can help us to find out the part no. and where to purchase ?
Does the ABS on the back work any differently? What I'm wondering is the ECU programming for the ABS/TCS remains static but the leverage on the brakes has been increased by nature of the design itself? Theoretically the ABS/TCS wouldn't have to work so hard for the back when activated which would be the same case for a big brake upgrade for the front.
In any case, the rear should not be locked before their front be locked. We calculate the front to rear ratio and upgrade them just in a certain percentage. The biggest benefits for the disc is to solve the drum lag and reduce the heat problem. If people didn't upgrade their front, then our setting is OK for the Front - Rear balancing. If they upgrade their front, with our parking mechanism, people are able to upgrade their rear to bigger rotor or maybe 4 pot caliper for their rear. Just like you mentioned, never brakes the balance of front and rear.
Our conversion kit could be installed on the Polo 6C. Please contact us at info@unique-power.com.tw with your location for quotation. Thank you very much!
So you guys have no plans on coming up with a kit in the near future?There's a lot of people on the Tacoma forums and Facebook pages that would definitely use this,you guys should check them it to know weather there's enough of a demand for it if that's the case.
We surely wish to build a kit for early Tacoma. (We know the difference) It's almost impossible to design a kit without changing the cable. We still working on it and we will find a way ....... by changing the cable ........
To create a new model needs to invest new molds and produce them in certain quantity. We are trying very hard to expand our model list now. Sorry that we are not able to supply this model at this moment.
As our understanding, Toyota Rush is the same with Daihatsu Terios. Please refer to our video : Daihatsu Terios. Or our website : www.unique-power.com.tw for more detail.
Our kit only applies to the Tacoma models after 2004. Models before 2004, the cable entered the drum mechanism vertically and then parallel. The difference is too big, and we are still looking for a solution, thank you!
Total braking power should be the same when stops the same vehicle.Replacement frequency depends on the extent of front and rear sharing. When the rear does more jobs for the vehicle, the font will last longer and perform a better total braking. Consider of the heat problem, disc brake is more reasonable and more reliable.
Just watched your video on upgradings the Tacoma from drum brakes to drum and disc brakes... So my question would be what would a ballpark price be for what your video showed..the complete up grade?
Sorry for my misunderstanding, please email to info@unique-power.com.tw for quotation. Or give us your email address, we will reply you very quick. Thanks!
Thanks for your inquiry. Molds and tooling are openning. Still need few months for mass production. Please give us your e-mail address, we will inform you when it's ready.
By changing the rear to disc brakes a new brake booster and master cylinder that can support them is needed. Otherwise, this is not a proper installation.
The drum cylinder for most pickup is 13~15/16 inch. (Tacoma is 15/16 inch) Our cylinder for rear calipers diameter are 43~45mm. Under our calculation and about 2 years' road test, original master works with our new caliper very well. Please send your technical inquiry to : info@unique-power.com.tw for more details. Thanks!
Sorry, do you mean 2020 Tacoma? In our region, Tacoma does not imported by Toyota, only imported by parallel importers, which is not so common. Yes, our kit fits latest Tacoma perfectly.
The cutting process is to remove the rest part of bearing. This is the standard O.E. process when changing the bearing. Need no process to do with the hub when installing our kit. Thank you!
Yes, you are completely correct. It makes possible for upgrading to 4 pot caliper with no pain. (Without the drum, needs to install the extra caliper for parking)
Hilux cable movement direction is vertical before 2005. (After year 2005, the cable movement direction is parallel) We are working on an easier solution to fix the cable path. ( Conversion kit for Hilux before 2005 is not available now) Thanks!

So you end up with both drum and disc? I always assumed it would be one or the other, not both. Isn't it possible to just convert from drum to disc, without new drum shoes?
It is called "Drum in Disc" system.
The drum is stuck on the inner side of the disc and is driven by the hand brake cable.
It generates a braking power on the shoe and inside area of the disc.
The two devices operate independently, and the two forces can be added together in emergency cases.
The short answer is "the shoes are for your e-brake."
Would it be easier to run a line lock. Then put brake shoes on. That way all 4 disc brakes would be locked

Sorry that we don't have a kit support your vehicle.
why dont you supply calipers with pistons on both sides ?
We may build 4 pot caliper for this kit in the future.
For current status, single pot is enough for people not upgrading their front brake.
Thanks!
Where are you located? I would like to do this to my 2006 Tundra. I’m located in California
This car is not imported by Toyota in our region, so we need to reply to you after confirming with the engineering team on Monday.
Thank you!

What’s the benefit for converting from drum to disc? Is there more or less stopping power?
Please refer to our website: www.unique-power.com.tw
The parking brake (by handle) and hydraulic brake (by peddle) are working separately.
Double system is doubly safe.
Most luxury vehicles installed the same system - drum in disc system.
On the other hand, upgrade to 4 pot caliper is possible without losing the parking brake.
The drum brake is good, but it has a lag problem.
Especially, in sudden brake cases.
Yes, 4 disc brake type is helpful on braking.
The massive increase in “Cool factor” is what brings you to a stop. There are drawbacks with one being having to to sudden swerving and lane changes due to the amount of panties the ladies are dropping when they see you coming. 😂
I wanted to ford ranger 2016 installation is certainly possible?
+Nguyen Jade
We are planning to study conversion kit for Ford Ranger.
(We have taken the measurement of this vehicle already)
Unfortunately, we could not find the parts no. of this bearing.
Is anyone can help us to find out the part no. and where to purchase ?
Does the ABS on the back work any differently?
What I'm wondering is the ECU programming for the ABS/TCS remains static but the leverage on the brakes has been increased by nature of the design itself? Theoretically the ABS/TCS wouldn't have to work so hard for the back when activated which would be the same case for a big brake upgrade for the front.
In any case, the rear should not be locked before their front be locked.
We calculate the front to rear ratio and upgrade them just in a certain percentage.
The biggest benefits for the disc is to solve the drum lag and reduce the heat problem.
If people didn't upgrade their front, then our setting is OK for the Front - Rear balancing.
If they upgrade their front, with our parking mechanism,
people are able to upgrade their rear to bigger rotor or maybe 4 pot caliper for their rear.
Just like you mentioned, never brakes the balance of front and rear.
Hey guys a have 1969 Ford f600 drums front and back can I upgrade with disc????
Thank you for your inquiry.
We don't have F600 data and also no such model for researching.
Sorry for disappointing you!

Thank you very much!
Do you guys offer anything for the 1st Gen Tacomas rear drum to disc conversion kits?for a 1998 Tacoma 2.4l
Sorry that our current kit fits only 2005' on.
The cable into the drum is completely different before the year 2005. (Parallel to Vertical)
So you guys have no plans on coming up with a kit in the near future?There's a lot of people on the Tacoma forums and Facebook pages that would definitely use this,you guys should check them it to know weather there's enough of a demand for it if that's the case.
We surely wish to build a kit for early Tacoma. (We know the difference)
It's almost impossible to design a kit without changing the cable.
We still working on it and we will find a way ....... by changing the cable ........
I need a drum to disc kit for a 1980 Toyota Carona liftback. Can you supply?
To create a new model needs to invest new molds and produce them in certain quantity.
We are trying very hard to expand our model list now.
Sorry that we are not able to supply this model at this moment.
In japan rear disc breaks available. Not in the USA.
Thank you!
Could you provide more information?
is it possible for toyota rush?? changing real drum to disk
As our understanding, Toyota Rush is the same with Daihatsu Terios.
Please refer to our video : Daihatsu Terios.
Or our website : www.unique-power.com.tw for more detail.
What's with the windows 95 midi music?
So....do you sell the kit still for 2003 Tacoma?
Our kit only applies to the Tacoma models after 2004.
Models before 2004, the cable entered the drum mechanism vertically and then parallel.
The difference is too big, and we are still looking for a solution, thank you!
hello, were i can buy one kit like these, please?
Please contact info@unique-power.com.tw for more details.

Buenas me gustaría. Ese kit. Precio. O donde lo consigo
I have 1989 Corolla le do you know if is possible make my car rear brake too
Unfortunately, we don't have a kit for 1989 Corolla now.
Great work. What state is your shop located.?
Thanks for your compliment.We are dealing with some companies and not final yet.
Test sample will be ready in Aug. and M/P in Oct.
Looks like your just using fj cruiser/ 4 runner rear disc brake parts
They looks alike but different at all especially the cable end.
We design a new structure for this kit.
Only thing that sucks about this, is that disk brakes have to be replaced more often than drum.
Total braking power should be the same when stops the same vehicle.Replacement frequency depends on the extent of front and rear sharing.
When the rear does more jobs for the vehicle, the font will last longer and perform a better total braking.
Consider of the heat problem, disc brake is more reasonable and more reliable.
Plus, I'm sure this conversion is quite expensive. Probably like 1 million miles worth of pads.
How much does that cost to get done
what ballpark for the conversion on a 2014 Tacoma 4 by 4...
Do you mean brake pad?
Please refer to our website : unique-power.com.tw/easy-qa/
Thanks !
Just watched your video on upgradings the Tacoma from drum brakes to drum and disc brakes...
So my question would be what would a ballpark price be for what your video showed..the complete up grade?
Sorry for my misunderstanding, please email to info@unique-power.com.tw for quotation.
Or give us your email address, we will reply you very quick.
Thanks!

Tendrán algun kit de discos traseros para adaptar a unaToyota Hiace
Oem hanbrake remains brilliant
This is tough for designing to use the original cable, thanks!
By changing the rear to disc brakes a new brake booster and master cylinder that can support them is needed. Otherwise, this is not a proper installation.
The drum cylinder for most pickup is 13~15/16 inch. (Tacoma is 15/16 inch)
Our cylinder for rear calipers diameter are 43~45mm.
Under our calculation and about 2 years' road test, original master works with our new caliper very well.
Please send your technical inquiry to : info@unique-power.com.tw for more details.
Thanks!
Will this kit work on a 84 2WD SR5 Deluxe?
The Tacoma kit can only be installed on models after 2005.
In addition, there is no such model in our region.
Thank you!
@@UniquepowerTwUnique-Power SR5 OR Deluxe.
Sorry, do you mean 2020 Tacoma?
In our region, Tacoma does not imported by Toyota, only imported by parallel importers, which is not so common.
Yes, our kit fits latest Tacoma perfectly.
@@UniquepowerTwUnique-Power No I asked If the kit would fit and 84 SR5 or Deluxe.
Thanks for sharing !!! :)
Thanks!
Is this kit available for the base model 5 lug?
For strada triton can used?
Nice job
Thank you!
At 3:50 what is being cut off the hub?
The cutting process is to remove the rest part of bearing.
This is the standard O.E. process when changing the bearing.
Need no process to do with the hub when installing our kit.
Thank you!
Me same job 8 hours with extra bolts.

Para una mazda B2000 modelo 1988. ?????
Gracias.

Gracias.
@@UniquepowerTwUnique-Power ok muchas gracias.
Es un placer, gracias!

So this kit uses drums for the parking brake and discs for the foot brake?
Yes, you are completely correct.
It makes possible for upgrading to 4 pot caliper with no pain.
(Without the drum, needs to install the extra caliper for parking)
Where can I get more information about this?
Do you have a lot for 2006 Scion xB
Do you mean our inventory?
Please contact info@unique-power.com.tw for more details.
Many thanks!
is it just me that saw that they didn't even clean the brake shoes and drum and rotor?
This video was shot by a local distributor, we will convey your opinion, thank you!
Do you have a kit for Toyota Hilux 2001, 4x4?
Hilux cable movement direction is vertical before 2005.
(After year 2005, the cable movement direction is parallel)
We are working on an easier solution to fix the cable path.
( Conversion kit for Hilux before 2005 is not available now)
Thanks!
@@UniquepowerTwUnique-Power Thanks. We will be waiting for you to have a solution.
