I bought front and rear guards. i installed the fronts but i can't get the rears installed b/c the wheel is in the way. Please don't tell me i have to remove the rear wheels to install them.

 

Yes

 

is there such a thing as a 90 degree drill bit? that curves like an upside L?

 

How about using a 90 degree ratchet screwdriver? You can get them at Home Depot.

the thing is that i need to drill a 5mm hole which i think is a 3/16 inch drill bit before i can screw in anything. any other ideas? also thanks for trying to help out.

 

just line up the bracket provided... use a screwdriver to screw a small sharp bolt in slowly. Once you screwed a hole enough to hold the bolt, remove the bolt and line up the rearguard and screw in the bolt that comes with the package...thats the way i did mine.

 

Actually, there are right-angle drill heads/adaptors.

In the 4 hours since you first posted the question, you could have easily jacked up your car, removed a wheel, drilled the hole with a regular drill. Repeated on the other side.

 

i don't have a jack or else i would have done that. lol.

 

Didn't your car come with one?!

 

Yeah, what are you going to do if you get a flat and have to put on the spare?

 

your jack should be under your carpet not being an *** you just may not know that?

 

oh ya good point. lol. damn i'm an idiot. i'll have to check it out this weekend when i get a chance. where should i place the jack at exactly?

 

OMG, dont touch your car please. Just pay someone to do this for you...PLEASE

 

lol...hey i just want to make sure. but thanks for the advice.

 

Look in section 6 of the Owners Manual titled "In Case of Emergency". It shows you where the jack is stored and the location of the lift points on the body of the Z.
