Rear Bearing assembly
I tried to assemble the rear bearing assembly a couple of years ago I do not think I got it right and want to pull both of them and get them redone by someone that has the right tools for the assembly.
Question is where to send them? I think both Corvette central and Wilcox refurbishes them any other suggestions?

I read the rebuild instructions about 5 times before I understood what "the object of the game" was. Once I understood, I was able to rebuild the trailing arms with a quality pair of digital dial calipers. The worst part of the process was assembling the bearings DRY in order to set the clearances.....then disassemble/pack with wheel bearing grease/reassemble WITH the inner grease seal in the correct location....WHEW!
