installing Penguin Garage rear hub spacers!

www.penguingarage.com

DIY instructions for Penguin Garage rear Hub Spacers:

tools required:
~ your wheel removal tools
~ jack and jackstand
~ Hammer
~ small Flat headed screwdriver (ABS-Equipped only)
~ 14MM socket and extension
~ 10MM Allen key (socket preferred for torque wrench)
~ Torque wrench (not required, but recommended)


Step 1: support car with jacking device of your choice. Remove wheel



Step 2: remove rear drum. remember to NOT set your emergency brake! :) tapping with a hammer helps with the drum removal process



Step 3: locate the hub bolts. use a 14mm socket to remove these 4 bolts




Step 4: remove the rear hub/brake assembly. if you are ABS equipped, you'll need a small flat-head screw driver to release the wheel sensor plug before removal of the hub




use the supplied grease (clear baggie with red grease inside) to lightly coat the mounting surfaces of each spacer. doesn't have to be THICK, just enough to discourage corrosion.

Step 5: insert one supplied bolt thru the hub assembly and slip the spacer over the bolt. this will make re-aligning the hub easier when bolting the hub back to the axle. tighten the hub bolts in a diagonal pattern, torque the new bolts to 80 lb/ft (for those of you who are not torque wrench-equipped, TIGHT). reinstall brake drum, wheel, and set the car down. you're now Penguin Equipped!
