The instructions are pretty easy to follow, but has anyone read that you have to leave off the stop bracket on the straight axle. It originally stops the spindle from hitting the I-beam when turning to back up. But the way my configuration seems to be is that the bolt on caliber bracket takes away a LOT of the turning ability when backing if you leave the stop brackets on. Or am I suppose to grind off some of the bracket to give make space for the stop bracket to work properly?

I would not recommend removing the stop. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 769 | Same here, just made a small notch for the stop bolt to clear the bracket. | | |
