Parking brake assembly
 

Just wondering if anyone here has moved the parking brake assembly out of the way to install rear spacers with replacement studs. How was it? I'm ordering my 15F/20R spacers and am know I'm going to have to move it out of the way on the install. Can't imagine it'd be too difficult...

I've read you can just bend or grind a part of the parking brake frame to slip the longer bolts in. You shouldn't have to take it apart completely. Just rotate the hub to slip each bolt in through the same spot where you've bent the metal frame. There is a link showing this somewhere in the spacer threads. Can't remember which one it was though.

Has anyone been this route yet? Would really like some feedback from someone that has done this themselves before I attempt the same thing!! :tup:

I think I ordered 170 last time at the shop and it was the wrong one. The strange part about it is I don't see the plate lever that came off of mine, its about 2 and a half inches long too. I'll open it up in a few hours and will post pics in case anyone needs help later.

WTF? :icon14:

Spaaaaaam. Report it... I can't since I'm on my phone.

How are the spacers working out? Any rubbing???

They are in a box in my garage!

Damn you boxed parts!!! (best Homer impression)

Well you are wlcome to come down here and install them. I will clear out an area under my deck for you to sleep!

Believe me, I've slept in worse places!

Better yet, ship those bad boys up to me and I'll install them HERE on MY ride and I will post the DIY!!! :icon17:

Ship them to me, no international BS. ;)

Whoa Whoa! International my ***! We're all (north) Americans here!!! :tup:

Aren't you done yet? :stirthepot:

LOL they are just sitting there. I need to work on cleaning out the garage next weekend...
