Ahh the jam nut. I was cruising on this project until I hit that thing. Removing the jam nut is not for the faint of heart. You can either make a custom tool if you are a welder (I 'am not) or you can grind down the top hat till the nut is flush with it. Then I put the top hat in a vice and used a 15/16 wrench and some weird spring loaded plumber tool to remove the jam nut.

On a side note you are going to want a electric impact wrench for this project it makes disassembling ever thing so easy. I can get a strut out and and completely remove the spring with the spring compressor in 30 minutes vs when I didn't have it and it took 1.5-2 hours.







One final thought, since I did new brakes do not get pads that at .610 thick get the .5xx otherwise you have to burn them down to seat them correctly.
