pull the back cover off or if ya lucky enough to have a borascope stick that in the drain hole
Not sure if you solved this one yet... get a 3' or so length of black iron pipe in about a 1" diameter (something that will fit around your breaker bar for later use as a cheater bar). Use that pipe to jam the wheel studs from turning while you crank on the axle nut.underscore":16uq8yu3 said:Rear end is mostly apart, my biggest issue right now is getting the axles out of the hubs as I have no way to stop them from spinning & I want to rebuild them before everything goes back in (the boots look pretty worn & dried out).
underscore":2g44khnr said:Nope mine seem to fit just fine. It's close, close enough that I ended up cutting the dust shields off because I couldn't bend them enough while still on the car, but it fits. How do your rotors line up with the calipers? Are you sure you've got the right rotors? Which ones did you get?
underscore":1beni4bu said:I know, I was using the comparison to the calipers to help gauge if the rotors are incorrect. I haven't lifted my front end back up since I put the brakes on, so I'll have to see how close they come. Maybe I'll use some putty or something to check if there is contact.

underscore":3ha22hmp said:I was thinking the same thing, the studs should be fine, but I'm assuming we'd need to move the caliper as well. Which would mean shaving down the bracket 3mm.
I think a couple people are driving on this setup, I wonder what they and gtfourtc have to input on this?
