On my old 1.0ltr Ute i just swapped out the whole swivel hub. Easy job. You do need to change brake lines also.

Just buy a knuckle rebuild kit and get it all done while you have it apart.

Pretty easy job.

Kept the original, had rear discs too. Brake pedal sucked. I did remove a proportioning type valve inside the master, don't have pics, Christopher might.

Had i have kept the car any longer i would have spent the time to swap in a booster off either a 1.3 or whatever else. This is a PITA job to do on a zook that didn't come with a booster from the factory.
