Help with Rear Disc Brakes

I put a kit from NC4x4. I have contacted them for support with no help. All I need to know is how the bracket goes on, what the seals are for, and if I need anything from the old drums. I pulled some bearings, and I thought I read I need to reuse them. Any help appreciated.

The kits I have seen, and the vids I have watched of them being installed, are pretty basic. All the old bearings are reused. The seal would be the axle seal in the hub. Once the drum and backing plate are removed, the bracket slips on. Either it is a weld on or a bolt on. From what I have seen, the most common placement is for the caliper to ride on the rear bumper side of the wheel.

The manufacturer should be able to answer all these questions.

Good luck.

Yeah, I think I am confused on where the bearings go? Since the hub was attached to the drum or does that piece come off? Maybe that is where I am confused.
