1.Lift the rear of the Corvette off the ground with car jacks. Support it on all sides using jack stands. Loosen the lug nuts with a torque wrench and remove the rear wheels off the car. 2.Fasten a large C-clamp over the caliper, making sure the ends press against the rear of the caliper and the outboard pad. Screw the C-clamp tighter to compress the pistons into the bore. Remove the C-clamp. 3.Unscrew the upper caliper bolt and rotate the caliper downwards until you have enough room to remove the pads. Fasten the caliper to the frame of the Corvette with mechanical wire. 4.Remove the pads and lining assemblies. Use brake cleaner to wipe down the areas of the caliper and mounting bracket that make contact with the pads and lining. 5.Install the outboard pads with the insulator against the caliper housing. Install the inboard pads with the wear sensors against the caliper pistons. Release the caliper from the frame and lay it over the brake pads. Torque the upper bolt to 23 ft. lb. 6.Replace the wheel assemblies Replace any necessary brake fluid to bring it up to the proper level as indicated.
