I would like to have seen that my self thanks for the info

Very helpful

Gary is a true Pro !! One of the best !

Great stuff, Im a mechanic and generally do things myself on my cars, a guy always appreciates learning so thanks

I appreciate the time you took for this! Thank you.

Hey Gary, do you still do rebuilds?

Top notch Gary !

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.

Nicely done. That’s BIG job, not at all easy, but very necessary when the parts are worn.

Sir, thanks for the awesome video's! For me, I really appreciate you making these video's!!

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!

Thank you so much sir. A shop wanted to charge me $900 just to r and r the rear-end. I am a do it your self guy. Thank you you made it super easy.

Please can you send your email or address please.

Wow- I was trying that with a pry bar and wasn't succeeding... Guess I need to give it the beans.

Thanks Gary.

Need to have this done soon,what is the going rate for labor for a job like this

If the shims are rusted and need to be cut out, how can the proper thickness of the shims be determined when replacing with new ones? Please, and thank you!

Great video, very helpful, thank you for your efforts in making this.

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

THANK YOU VERY MUCH . I'M GETTING READY TO REBUILD THE TRAIL ARMS IN MY 66 VETT SO THE VIEDOS WHERE A GOOD HEADS UP ON ALL THE DETAILS

Nice video 👍

Thanks Gary. I can see you're a real pro.

Great video,Thanks

Oh man, what am I getting myself into

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.

Gary thank you! I watched you vid on the differential removal, followed you directions and honestly it was pretty easy to do. Now have to remove the trailing arms so again, thank you for all your help!

Bending the tab and pounding it back down to get the handbrake cable fitted is wrong

What are the bolts called that are at the 6:00 minute mark. The ones that are 3/8

These guys rebuilt my 67' trailing arms. Top notch job, HIGHLY recommend.

Hey gramps

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.

I'm doing an on the frame restoration, Is this a good time to take out the rear end to rebuild?

The audio is so distorted I can't understand a thing he is saying.

The alignment shops do what to do Corvette rear , ggg

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.

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.

What about torque values?

Great video, everything I need to know

Nice video but would have liked to see you show how you replaced trailing arm bushings!

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?

Why not wire brush arm to go metal and spot weld steel strips across the arm. Save a lot of work

Hey just wanted to say thanks for the videos and your time.

Gary did my rear Trailing Arms. He does Great work.

This guy doesn’t answer any questions so far none that I have seen anyway

How do you remove the bushings in a trailing arm? I’m working on a 1975C3

Can you make a video on how to install them Springs that hold the clutch plates tight

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?

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?
