Escort Van Rear Brakes Change

Hi I've got a 02 plate Escort van 55 1.8 d non turbo. The brakes on the back at the minute are the drum type and have started grinding yesterday how much work and difficult would it be to change them to discs and pads or is it easier to keep them as drums.

Thanks for any help on this matter.

    It's easier to keep them as drums. The only option on rear discs on the escort were on the higher powered escorts and the hub set up will be completely different due to drive being at rear wheels too on higher powered escorts.

    Hi Rich, I'll keep them standard then. I thought as I will be needing to change them soon I could swap them to disks.

    Cheers, Lee

    It is possible I'm sure but the cost and amount of parts needed to change to modify would probably be very high

    Keep it standard drum.

    Only disc rear setup on the later cars were the RS2000 which were FWD or 4wd. Neither will fit as the rear axles are totally different.
