AEG 10617 - Installation Manual
A manual for installing Wilwood Superlite 6R front disc brake kits on classic Chevrolet Corvettes (1965–1982) focuses primarily on safety, compatibility checks, and detailed assembly procedures. The document emphasizes that installation should only be performed by experienced mechanics due to critical warnings about brake system risks. It includes essential verification steps–such as checking wheel clearance, confirming OEM brake line compatibility, and ensuring proper component alignment–alongside exploded diagrams for disassembly and reassembly. Safety-specific instructions cover torque specifications, securing components with Loctite® 271, and proper brake hose routing, while troubleshooting advice suggests documenting disassembly steps via photos. The guide also addresses post-installation testing, including pad/rotor bedding procedures, pedal feel adjustments, and fluid compatibility warnings (e.g., avoiding silicone DOT 5). Competitive applications receive specialized attention for cooling duct integration and temperature-sensitive paint.
