Just came back in (2:00am) from the garage and I am happy with what I got done!
I thought before that I had the caliper mount brackets on backward but after putting them on the side witch I thought was the right side that really confirmed that I was right the first time.
So I switched the bracket back around and it was still giving me the same problem as before because one bolt would go in fine but the other wouldn't... Like it couldn't reach the hole.. almost like the bracket is to short.
I ended up having to hone out one of the caliper mounting holes on the caliper with a file so that the bolt would reach and finally after messing with that I finally got it in. Doing it yourself I would recommend using a lug nut or two on the studs to hold the rotor on while you are putting on the caliper, otherwise it is a pain unless you have someone there to lend a hand. The only thing not tight on the drivers side is the lower ball joint bolts that go to the spindle just because I didn't want to wake my mom up with the impact.
I only have one complaint on the spindles and that is ,is that the bolt holes for the caliper mounting bracket have some powder coat in them from the power coating of the spindle so I spent like 10 minutes on each spindle cleaning some of the power coat of to allow me to run a bolt through.
I was all confused when going to put the hub together with the grease seal and bearings. I ended up having to call my dad and keep sending him pictures until we figured it out that I put the studs in backward so that Is why nothing would fit right... (hey, it was late okay!)
Once I got through that, that side went together flawlessly and I didn't even need to end up filing another hole.. To close it all off I Put one side of both of the PST tie rod ends and sleeves assembly together so they are just sitting there.
All that is left to do to the frontend is to put the pitman arm on, center link, tighten everything down and then on to the bigger stuff like wheels and tires and even a steering box and steering column. :burnout:
