Getting cotter pin through ball joint

[scherp69]

Yes I was finally able to get the cotter pin through although I tightened the bolt quite a bit more and it still would not give me the room. I finally had to slightly 'finese' the opening with a drill bit to get the cotter pin through. I didn't want to do it, but it seemed to be the only way to get the damn thing through. And now the ironic thing....I'm leaning towards getting a pair of the L&H spindles as they will fit the Wilwood brakes I have.
