   I have no idea what problems you'll overcome?
   
   You could come across many though...
   
   Pretty generic question you're asking, I think you need to be more specific. Have you had a search on here? It might help you home in on a more specific and useful question.

   yes, you'll need new handbrake cable. Other than that, it's a straightforward swap.

   Be carefull with unscrewing the brake lines as they tend to sieze tight , speaking of which you should check them length wise as the disk axle ( i think ) has a different weigh distributor than the drum one
