Parking brake assembly

Just rotate the hub to slip each bolt in through the same spot where you've bent the metal frame. There is a link showing this somewhere in the spacer threads. Can't remember which one it was though.

Already saw the 15mm spacers on the rear, perfect offset, makes the wheels look real flush with the body, probably going to order mine sometime this week. Saw another car with only 10mm spacers, just wasn't enough. I was wondering how hard it was to get the old studs out and put the new ones in, and how far did the nuts go on to the studs (roughly how many threads), just curious? That's the only reason I haven't ordered them yet. Any input would be appreciated.
Once again, car looks great, can't wait for my to look like that.

There is an e-brake assembly behind the rotor on both sides. It's not that difficult. When the wheel is mounted up it is about the same number of turns on the threads with the longer studs as when it was stock.
