      Crappppp!...

      So i need help or advice... working with Tobin on my brakes... he sent me my receipt and some instruction documents today.
      After reading through his install guide I determined i need to modify my brand new currie Axles.. (Dont ask)....

      So anyone know of a DIY way to turn down the axle end and center? they dont fit over my rotors (again dont ask cause it will only piss me off to think abut )

      Short of DIY any shops in NH that do this or recomedations appreciated... (plan on sending the back to currie as a last resort)

      Brakes wont be shipped for a few weeks so I have some time... But... have i mentioned how pissed i am AQBOUT THIS...:-)

      Ask a local shop that turns rotors or rebuilds engines. If they don't have a lathe with a bed long enough to turn your axles they will probably know who does.

      find a local machine shop, they should be able to do it, the axel can pass though the chuck . If you need to turn down the pilot too then press the studs out first, it will make life easier.

      I had to have the hubs of my axles turned down when I did my C6 brake swap. A local machine shop charged me $50.
