Be carefull of some of the web pages so called expert advice. The rear bearings and spindles require special tools for both strip down and assembly. ANY ADVICE THAT SAYS TO USE A HAMMER SHOULD BE DISREGARDED! I learnt the hard [expensive] way!
77CVT:
Nice car. Sucks there is no drain plug but a $10 vacuum pump from Supercheap does the job nicely. Never seen a trailing arm rust!
Suspension work is easy - take your time!

Hi 72CVT,
One trailing arm is rusted all the way through. I can put half of my hand inside the hole. The other side has a bubble so I'll replace that too.
Im concerned about the shims the manual discusses for the wheel bearings and the trailing arm.
I guess with the wheel bearings I'll just put in what comes out but as the trailing arms are being replaced Im not sure about the shims in there.
I once tried to replace the Uni joints and disks on Jaguar XJ6 series 1 and once I'd finished the camber was crazy. Cost me a fortune to get it put right.
Once bitten twice shy I guess.
Can anyone give me the name of a good corvette spare parts place down in Melbourne?
Im currently ordering all my stuff from Corvette Central in the states and the wait to get stuff here is driving me mad.
Cheers
Dave
