When I originally installed my dropped spindles I didn't remove any of my brake components from the backing plate. Now on reinstall I am finding that the spindle is getting in the way of my brake shoe keeper pins.. What's up with that? You have to remove the backing plate to do a brake job?

I also had clearance issues with the bolt for the cylinder...

Anyone have these problems and if so what did you do?

Take the Jetta to the race track instead as this fix is too time consuming.

So recieved a reply from CB about pins, the brainiac there by the name of kevin tearsely replied \"I do not understand why you removed the pins in the first place. Since you got them out and they will not go back unless you loosen the backing plate, you have no choice.\"

Well no shit!
