The Italians make nice car but not my cup of tea. Also maintenance on one of those is pretty stiff. I'll stick with my Z and maybe a ZR1 in a couiple of years when yhe madness stops.

End play was set at .002 on the right and .003 on the left. Quite a learning experience. Used a brake flaring tool from my Blue Point brake tube flaring kit to flare the the bushings on the trailing arms. Worked excellent. Couldn't tell which was the factory flare and which was mine. I made a...

Had to take a couple weeks off. Blew my joint sack on my right elbow. Very painful. It swelled up to the size of a baseball. trailing arms are done and I am installing the halfshafts today. Thanks again to everybody for thier replies.

email me at korvettekarl@hotmail.com Imay still have a set off an 05 Coupe that I had before trading for my Z.

I noticed that. Thanks for everyone's answers. Halfway done. I bought the bearing remover. Nice tool but a little pricey. Oh well. I prefer to do as much as I can.

Thanks Rob. I have already started to save my pennies. As much as I love my 07 Z06, I will drop it like a hot potato if I can get my hands on one of these babies.

Thanks for the reply. I am going to give it try. I will order the parts and a factory service manual.

Thanks Hib. I do have a 40 ton press. I guess I will have to find a factory service manual. Thanks for the fast reply.

Can anybody give me some instructions to change the rear spindle bearings on 64? Special tools? Pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I won't use the Optima red top anymore either. Have put 2 in my 57 Bel Air with poor results.

Many thanks.

Congrats on the lift. Ypur life will be much easier from here on out. I am looking at adding a 3rd as we speak. Still trying to get my county commissioners to ok my new shop in m y back yard. Finally had to hire a lawyer. I didn't want to but the county has been dragging their feet for over a...

Can anyone tell me what the yoke width on a 64 should be? I have a guy that is not very car savy but wants me to order a new differential for him. The car is in Cal or I would go and measure myself.

I guess I've been one of the lucky ones. Of the last 4 new Vettes I have bought in the last 8 years I have not had 1 battery issue. (knock on wood)

TODD, great advise. This is NOT your daddy's Chevrolet. (I seem to recall some OLD marketing) I keep my Z in a heated garage and it is babied until I reach an oil temp of at least 165. Nothing over 2500 on the tach until then.

My 07 Z has just over 6k on the clock and NO needle bearings in the 3 oil changes I've done so far. I'm not going to worry about it until it actually happens. It's covered by warranty if it does happen. I would like to see some actual numbers of failures. The internet is a great thing but can...

I've got one. Not new but pretty close. I can email some pics if you like. PM me.

I don't take her opinion too seriously. She has never won a race and I don't think that will change in the near future. In my opinion she is way over hyped.

Thanks Remo. I sometimes wish I had kept that one.

Congrats on the new ride> Now that you've had a few weeks what is your opinion on the new Z? It's been almost three months since I traded my 05 Z51 6spd and I just keep enjoying it more. How about you?
