'05 Vette build thread

[bonecrrusher]

So I started off with the Vette sitting on the ground this morning - and well I got a lot done today.

I got the rear coilovers out, then disconnected the rear upper control arms.

I had to take out the drivers side long tube header to get access to the bolt holding the slave cylinder to the bell housing.

I then got the slave cylinder disconnected, the brake lines disconnected, and the wiring harness that runs down the trans tunnel disconnected.

I then setup the trans jack - zipped off the rear subframe bolts - and got started on the torque tube bolts.

I struggled with one of the torque tube bolts into the bell housing because that wire harness was in the way.

After getting that off - I got the torque tube out and the drive train dropped out of the way.

I plugged the brake lines with plugs from my Brembo kit - and a closet wire shelf end cap - saw that suggestion online -and it worked like a charm - no brake leaks here!
