    can't get my rear rotors off

    Parking Brakes As far as knowing if they are riveted to the spindle, I'm not sure. If they are, what am I looking for? To me, that seems like a pretty dumb design. I am try to drill out one hole to put my tool into and adjust the parking brake adjuster. Thanks for the help and all is welcomed.

    can't get my rear rotors off

    There were no holes for doing the parking brake adjustment. Also can not get the bolts that holds the caliper loose. The cable and adjuster under the car works great, but cannot get it tight enough for the parking brake to hold the car.

    1973 Corvette door handles

    One side was easier than the other was because you are either right handed or left handed. I have big hands from many decades of construction and I was able to do it. Yes, you do have to remove the mechanism. Good job
