   they are pretty easy to drop out, just doing all the brake pipes etc takes time

   it took me a about 8 hous in total.
   
   BUT
   
   I took my time (was learning as i went along)
   I fucked a thread on one of the brake line (where it goes into the caliper lol)
   I had to change everything over
   I took the new beam apart just to see how it all goes together

    Some VTRs had ABS and some did not. If its a ABS car you have to have the ABS timming discs and senders.
