Howdy, Im trying to install the front disc brake conversion kit from Performance Online on my 57 gmc half ton and i dont know if im doing something wrong or the setup is wrong but im having problems. The kit that i have is the 11 inch rotor one. When trying to install everything earlier i was having problems with the calipers not clearing the spindle. I bolted the bracket up with the spacers between the bracket and the spindle and when i wanted to bolt on the calipers the spindles get in the way of the calipers.

since the calipers dont clear they do not bolt up like they should. This is the part of the caliper that is hitting the spindle:

Could i just take a grinder to that nub and make a little cutout for the corner of the spindle to make things fit right or would that be a bad idea.
Has anyone else had this problem or am i just missing something.
I havnt called POL about this problem yet, thought i would try here first.
Thanks
Cody
