flipping d60 caliper brackets

[dsmd58]

ok so i figured out that the p.o. has the front calipers backwards. the torx nut which should be on the bottom is on the top of the caliper when you look down from the top of the wheel well. my question is, what is entailed in switching the calipers around?

i have read that the brackets are on the wrong side, but am hesitant to take it apart. does the rotor and hub assembly need to be removed to fix this issue?

is there a link or some pics that you guys know of that can walk me through it?

you pull off the hub and rotor assembly then you remove the spindle, i would say maybe a half an hour to complete the job

You could replace the wheel bearings and hub seal.

You should check the axle u-joints while you're there.
