Default LG Drop Spindle Install

Anyone have experience with the install? I bought them used with no instructions. I have done drop spindles before, but they came complete without have to transfer anything. Just wondering if two people in a driveway with hand and air tools can reasonably handle it and if there are any issues I need to look out for.

I did them on my c5 just pull old one's out and replace with new. Then have it relined.

I don't know what size of rim you are looking to go to but may have to chg out your brake calibers on the rear if you go to a 15 inch rim for sure. But that is no big deal c5 one and grind down the top little part of it.

You need a set of jack stands and also floor jack.. Robert
