Yep, but if you have the roller skates (i.e. stock pads still installed) then you need to take the wheel off. As I don't believe the roller skates can clear the wheel.

Really? So I can just pop the wheels off and yank the roller skates and pads off and replace them without having to remove the calipers? I didn't know that.

the stock SS calipers have a hole a lot like nathans caliper:

except the black piece is a much cheaper metal spring and the two screws are pins. Use a punch to remove the pins. use a wood clamp to compress the caliper and the pads slide right out the top.

I'd be interested to see if they were able to keep them at OEM weight - ideally less, but going from 4 to 6 pot adds a bit of weight lol

The concave channel is were the battery cable use to run through. If we left it like this, it would look unfinished. So the domino effect starts begin!!!

I figure we might as well cut the whole channel out and make it symmetrical like the other side.
