I noticed my passenger rotor appears to be cockeyed. Bought the disc setup used but complete. I remember reading that the only difference between the drum and disc spindle is a boss that needs milling off. Anyone have a picture and description on how to do this? Man one of these days maybe, just maybe, something might go right with this thing. Thanks Pete

Um,...if you could bend the spindle, you'd be like "Dukes of Hazzard" if they drove Chevelles.

But yes, the mounting boss needs to be machined back and maybe retapped. Easy to see if you hold either spindle in your hand. Probably 10 minutes machine work.

Are you sure something is bent?
Is this a stock disc setup?
Cal you pull the rotor and make sure the bearings are intact?
