Good luck.Attachment 1152
This is the front bolt,Remember Counter Clock Wise.It seems wierd but it works. RobThe back you would have to hold the one end and turn the other end,The front,just turn turn the top,you will understand once you have the tires off.

Rob, how did you manage to paint the calipers without getting red paint on the "Corvette" letters?
Or does the kit have white paint and the letters are painted after the red?

The calipers look great.

Thanks, Lou

Default My little secret is out

That was the hard part.I painted over the letters on the third and forth coat,after each coat I wiped off the paint from the letters when it was still wet,then when the paint got tacky,I used a q-tip with rubbing achol on the letters,becareful not to touch the paint,takes alittle time but the end result is Great.Rob
