  1. Use the newspaper method of creating the clearance required. Shamelessly stolen from the 300 forum. I used this to get my rears to fit and it works a treat! First of all, you're going to want to jack up the rear by the tow hook, and remove he rear wheel. The you're going to want to disconnect the lower mount of the rear shock. Remove the nut and bolt, and swing the lower mount out of the way. Make sure the lower mount is clear of everything. You do not want it to catch on anything. With the car in the air, and the wheel at full droop, this is what it looks like: Not too bad, but remember it will camber in a bit, like so: The fender just catches the tire, so rubbing will occur. Next, you're going to want to heat up the fender, from where I'm point at, and to the right. Use either a heat gun, or if you're brave, a propane torch, lol You want to hit the fender from the bottom and up, to heat up the lip of the fender on both sides. Next, grab about less than a thumb's width of newspaper for the initial treatment. Again, I'm using mechanic's paper floor mats. It works just as well. With the fender heated, stuff the newspaper into the wheel arch, between the fender and tire. Make sure to have the newspaper span the whole area you heated up, or else you'll pull one section more than the other. Then you're going to drop the car slowly, until the tire touches the floor, and the wheel begins to tuck itself inside the fender. Now, it will make some noise it is just the sound of the fender sliding over the newspaper. Let it sit for couple of minutes, to give the fender time to cool off and take shape. You're going to want to then raise the car and remove the paper. Drop it back down to where you're tucking tire, like so: You're going to want to check for rubbing issues. What I do is take some thin paper, and slide it between the tire and fender: If the paper snags, then you still need to pull more. The tire was touching the fender in the area between where the paper is placers in the two pics. Again, heat up the fender, and grab more paper. Rinse and repeat as needed. You can see the fender slowly taking a flat flared look Just as a warning, the driver side fender will require more effort to pull, due to the gas cap there reinforcing the fender. So don't freak out if you need significantly more newspaper on the driver side than on the passenger side. Keep repeating the process by adding a slight amount more newspaper at every pass. My passenger side took 2 passes. Driver side took 4. Again, this is normal. And here are the results: Hope this helps everyone.

    I be there with new non-slippy clutch
  23. But then we'll miss Top Gear! lol And South Park!
  24. I am going thru new clutch in my 300 for the 2nd time in 15months... 1st time I knew nothing about them, just paid the workshop $1100 for a 'HD' clutch installed (turns out to be a modified standard clutch) including flywheel machine and another similar bolt story to this This time around (still know not much about clutches) I went in a bit better preparred. Not wanting to have to do this again in another 12 months, I opted for 9puck cushion button. Cost me $700, less $200 more upon exchange (send clapped out clutch back to them after it comes out). And another $250 for the install to be done next week now (planned for 2moro but dammit it's a holiday!!!) Stupid clutches
