Hey Doug,
There are 2 bolts which screw into the shaft. They are what puts presure on the pads. Call me or come by and we can put them in.

You use the aluminum one against the carrier and the brake pad (metal one) should have the two allen head screws pushing against it. Use locktight. The upgrade is well worth it to.

Yeah I had a tough time also, but what I got to work great is 1)use fine grit sandpaper to take off a thin layer off the brake pads(as much as you need to) 2) use the metal backing plate said earlier, and 3) bend the brake lever approx 30-35 degrees(as needed) to fit with the linkage. I gotta say that upgrade is a must- I can lock em up with ease. Good luck
