If you have not attached the brakes and wheels yet and intend to add wheel pants at some point down the road, save yourself some time and trouble and order part U-0003 from Vans and install this when you install the wheels. OTHERWISE, you will have to jack up the wheel, remove that beautifully installed cotter pin, remove the axle nut, hold both bearings securely in the rim as you remove the wheel (trying to keep them from falling out and getting dirty...which will call for cleaning and repacking),
loosen those precisely torqued nuts and remove both break shoes and then remove the axle (right back to where you were before you installed the wheels.
Just add U-0003 NOW before you assemble all the above. Oh yes, you better replace those two cotter pins....so now spend 15 mintues trying to find the part number so you can order these parts. Maybe I am blind but I can't find it on page 35-4...which says install cotter pin. Nor can I find it in the MAPCO instructions.
Can anyone tell me the part number....OR, what material they are made of?
And lastly exactly how do you measure a cotter pin...I know GOOGLE IT!
