This was 100% what i needed, my 1975 shop manual will be ordered this week, i already have the assembly manual and electric manual for my year, somtimes a guys needs to see in action... Allot of oeople dont like working on these cars, but for me not only is it a dream come true but also my passion. Hopefully I can find another project like a 72 or something.

been watching you guys for a long time, very helpful, and I'm lucky I have a never seen salt or rain 1980 corvette. I rarely even touch my snap-on impact. BREAKER BAR HASDONE THE JOB EVERY TIME! But I learned that every bolt you remove goes back in with never-seize. Especially on a car like mine that is all stock except for the engine internals that are now 400hp! A far cry from the original 220 hp L82 YOU GUYS ARE OLD SCHOOL MECHANICS WITH PLENTY OFF GOOD IDEAS...I Thank You!! I did my rear end ratio change with what i learned from you guys and the rear end is in and going strong for 6 plus years now!

I replaced my factory trailing arms 3 years ago with Global West TBC-9 trailing arms. These trailing arms have the Heim style joint where they attach to the frame. Recently, I had to disconnect the trailing arms at the half shafts and when I reassembled, found that I had to apply considerable force inboard to the trailing arms using ratcheting tarp straps in order to get them close enough to the half shafts to put the bolts in. Global West has advised that this should not happen if the spring and the strut rods are not attached, which they weren't. Have you ever run into this problem? Any advice as to why this happened? Could shim placement have anything to do with it?

Really like your video lots of technical information. Would have like to seen the trailing arm bushing replacement as well as the rear sway bar hardware replacement (Big Block). A suggestion - while the text on the video was very helpful reinforcement, if you used a more contrasting color (red?) it would be easier to read. Thanks

Hello, thanks for sharing, do you by chance know the size of the plug for the brake line. I noticed in the first part you plugged the line with a fitting but I do not know the size. I have done brake calipers before and normally a lot of oil is wasted.

Mine was the worst. The bolts came out with a mild beating. The frame holes were elongated. I had to make up new reinforcement plates and weld them on the frame before I was able to install the rebuilt arms. Inspect yours for that kind of wear. Nice video.

What causes one wheel to be sitting out farther than the other side? (3/4 ") Like if the diff has shifted to one side. I realize you can't fix a car over youtube but some insite would steer me into the right direction.
@aboutmyfathersbusiness83245 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the vid. Side note, I had to remove one shim from R inner and R outer to compensate for new wider Poly bushing and hardware. Make sure you remove an equal amount of shim from either side to center the arm.

Excellent demonstration of trailing arm removal. Looks like the only special tool was to remove the strut rod from the shock mount? BTW, how many miles on that demo Corvette rearend?
@aboutmyfathersbusiness83245 жыл бұрын
I used a punch to remove the shock mount from the strut rod. If you have a southern car, minimal rust, it will come apart fairly easily.

I expected the worse, taped my door and everything. Those 45 year old bolts popped right out even easier than what this looked, ( the long bolts holding trailer arm to car). Hardest for me was the driver side shock mount, don't ever want to do that again.

You completely skipped the most difficult part of this job; fishing the bolt back through... what gives?
@brettsauerland47566 жыл бұрын
You mentioned using dental floss to pull the bolt through, but didn't show it. Do you just fish the floss through all the parts and hope it pulls through without breaking?
