help SPL Trailing arm install

martin82 · 08-11-2012, 04:22 PM

Please take a look at this pic. I installed the inner ring, then slide over the arm, but there outer ring will just be in the air and bolt it on? It doesn't even have space to slide in.........

the outer is pretty much in the air, once I bolt it, it will stay. I just think the inner one should be sanded a bit like 2-3mm to let the outer one slide more....

Doing heavy mechanical repairs in flip flops, you're clearly the best judge of what size the sleeves should be. Grind away!

SPL parts are not finely machined just to have you hack and grind at it. If it truly does not fit then take it up with the manufacturer.

Don't be hatin' on footwear, I changed my rotors barefoot in a parking lot in the rain on Wednesday. But this doesn't need to be in the track section.
