    Looking for a TAB "How To"

    I've received my 12.9 gauge TABs from Martin and it's almost time to install them.

    Does anyone have a "How To" for replacement? I have no idea where to start for these.

    Cheers.

    Is your car a manual or automatic?

    Count the shims, take the old ones out, put the new ones in, put the same number of shims back in. When you get the bolt out nothing will suddenly move or fall off the car.

    It gets complicated with an automatic, and/or if the bolts are frozen into the arms or bent enough that they don't want to slide through the bushings.

    A lift is handy, and you might need to put some upward pressure on the tire to get them in alignment. So if you are working on the floor, have the car on jackstands and use the floor jack too lift the tire assembly when needed.
