[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16525262, member: 70025"] Okay everyone. I was out yesterday, so here are my weekend updates. I feel like I got a ton done this past weekend. First off, on Saturday, I got my rear axles, rotors, brakes, Caltracs and wheels mounted this weekend. Man, it was an awesome feeling getting the rear wheels back on the car. Got my inner axle seals in. Made sure everything had enough grease so nothing went in dry. Then I slid the axles on with the emergency brakes. Man, getting the retaining plate on was a bit of a challenge.... Torqued everything down to the specified 35ft lbs. [ATTACH=full]1672809[/ATTACH] Was able to get my rotors on (passenger side). Had to adjust the emergency brake shoes a little, so the rotor would slide over them. [ATTACH=full]1672810[/ATTACH] Here are my calipers and brake pads installed. (NOTE: I did not bend the cotter pin on purpose. Not ready to lock the pads in yet). [ATTACH=full]1672811[/ATTACH] Here is the driver's side set up. [ATTACH=full]1672812[/ATTACH] Got my Caltrac's initially set up. I know the car needs to be on the ground to get the proper pre-load set up. [ATTACH=full]1672813[/ATTACH] (Picture "A") Passenger side rear end with everything in place. Got my brake lines in place and wheels mounted. [ATTACH=full]1672814[/ATTACH] (Picture "B") Driver's side rear end with everything in place. (Question???? For those of you with a good eye, what is the problem between picture "A" and "B"???) [ATTACH=full]1672815[/ATTACH] Here is the fitment side to side in the wheel well. [ATTACH=full]1672816[/ATTACH] This picture shows the separation between the top of the tire and the QTR panel. Keep in mind the rear suspension is free hanging. Once the car is on the ground I should have 1/2 to 3/4 inch separation between the tire and QTR panel. [ATTACH=full]1672817[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
