Hi Mike,
Hope this helps. I have pictured below the required prep and can be done with basic hand tools, obviously you can utilize many different power tools to accomplish the same thing in a matter of minutes. For purposes of illustration I prepared my end in a vise, however this work can be done exactly the same while installed under your car.Oh, the adaptor bolts, or optional ARP studs are 3/8"....
With your existing axles & brakes removed......
Place a rag or similar inside the axle tube to keep debris from entering while performing the prep work
Cut excess axle tube at edge of factory parking brake dust shield register
Tube end removed. The remaining factory dust shield register will now locate the C6/C7 Adaptor centric to the diff/axle tube
Clean up cut with file
Chuck up the included step-bit into your powered or cordless drill
A few squirts of WD-40 at each of the (4) holes
With included step bit, proceed to drill out each existing 3/8" hole to 1/2". These are now ready to accept the 1/2" bosses that protrude from the C6/C7 Adaptor that help locate/strengthen the system
That's it, you are now ready to install your kit!
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Jay
