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! ![]()
