: Tech issues with Mini FDB

I finally got around to bolting up the minitruck stuff for the FDB and have found one snag, i cant get a snap ring on the end of the birf shaft, it is just a little to short. I havent screwed around to much so it may just be that i need to push from other side with big rod to push inner axle\birf out a tiny bit. Any one else run into this? also does any one have specs on the bolts that hold pads on calipers? Shucks wants like 12$ for the bolts and that seems a little steep so i would like to head to hardware store to get right size bolt.
thanks

Ben -

There are no bolts that hold the pads on the calipers....

As for the not enough stickout: you need to put a bolt in the end of the stub axle and pull it out enough to get the lock ring on.

HTH,

Jim
