I'm considering swapping brakes between my 2 FCs (one is 4-lug and the other is 5-lug). I figure the easiest way to go about it would be to take off the rear axle nuts and swap the rear knuckles complete without disassembling them, but how about the front? Could I get away with un bolting the hub themselves and swapping them, or are the caliper mounts different between the 2 types of front knuckles?
