Have the backing plates and hoses installed.
Remove the unit bearing. Easy trick to help you to remove it. Loosen the 4 bolts that hold it on. Back them back intil there is about 5 threads deep in the hole. Now put a socket and short extension on the bolt heads and hit with a hammer. It should push the unit bearing out. Once the unit bearing is out. wire brush clean both the unit bearing and the hole it sits in. Next use a flat honing stone and go over the mounting surfaces of the bearing and the spindle. You don't want any high spots that could cause you problems. Put the bolts in the spindle, then the backing plate, then the unit bearing. Now start your bolts and torque to spec.

Now for the hoses. Since I'm using the Nismo RC brake ducts and the ZSpeed aluminum under pan diffuser. My routing of hoses is different then what Stillen shows in their instructions. You start at the brake ducts and work your way back to the backing plates. It's best to check your hoses after you install them with the tires on. This way you can see IF the tire WILL hit the hoses.

It looks like you ended cutting the tubes on both ducts. On the right side, did you simply angle it down or down and to the grille side? Thanks! Mike

On the left duct. I cut it to match the right duct. Just so they look the same.  Oh, I used a 2 part epoxy for plastic to glue everything together.

Here's a video from my 3rd session, at the end. Can't edit the video for the middle part.
 Which I did my best lap times, chasing a build mustang around. He couldn't get away from me, until he spun it.
