Default Problem with rear brakes on Monster Pirate!

hello,
i have an ofna monster pirate. the truck has a single disk brake in stock form. i purchased the rear brake installation kit to get more stopping power. well, the kit came with no directions at all, and i don't understand how it is possible to install the brakes with the center spur gear in the way. so, if anybody knows how to install the brake kit, please let me know. i don't want to have to call Ofna and spend long distance minutes on my phone.
thanks.

Ya I was going to say that the rear brake on a MP doesn't go on the center diff, it actually goes on the rear diff.

If you have a Pirate that has the fixed spur, the rear brake is a waste of money
It only helps or is needed if you have the center diff or 2-speed conversion
