Default Just Got My MOSER 9" and Have a install Question!! HELP

Well I finally got my 9" in from Moser, and I am assembling it and swapping all the parts from my 10 bolt over (caliper brakets, brake lines, sway bar brackets...etc) First off the instructions that I got SUCK...I must be missing a sheet or something.....My problem has to do with intalling the axles into the housing and securing them.. I can't seem to undertand how I will be able to install the nuts onto the t-bolts once I have the caliper bracket and parking brake slid on the tube and the bearing/press sleeve pressed on..It appears to me that there will be no room once the bearing is pressed on, to actually thread and tighten the nuts to retain the axle (the bolts that attach the caliper bracket/parking brake assembly to the housing....does this even make sense....am I missing something??? HELP

you arent missing anything, there is not a lot of room but you will be able to get the nuts on and tighten them with an open end wrench. Just make sure to put the bearings on the right way and put the correct caliper mount on the correct axle, left and right are a different length.

The e-brake shoe will slide left to right and give you a litle more room. I pull the t-bolt back a little , put the nut against it then push the t-bolt all the way and sandwich the nut between the bolt and the TCS ring. I'm good at it now
