Removing Stock Disk Brakes - Submitted by: tommydc

Anyone that has had the pleasure of working on a completely stock vette knows the factory that put the car together did some things back in the day that doesnt make any sense know. if you notice the circles in between the disk brake mounting bolts, then you see the rivets the factory used to install the disks to the flanges. the only way to remove them is to drill out the rivets. I learned this the hard way on my 81.
