Rear brake installation?

[White Dog_imp]

Put the wood under the tire first , I use a 6 inch wide "plank" and than strips of thin plywood to get the exact height for lining up with the dowel , depending on the tire you might need a couple of strips of the 1/8 strips of plywood.

Thanks! Great suggestion. Why didn't I think of that? Do you extend the wooden dowel thru the left side bearing? Hindsight says I would have had the wheel in proper position, then I could have slipped the axle into the hub with ease if I had done this.
