I just stacked 2 thicker washers on top of each other and that was enough. You get the wheel on yet?

As far as today, had a setback and cracked the windshield. I was trying to pull the wiper arms and motor out and was trying to pop the drivers arm off and put to much pressure on the windshield when i was using the hammer as a pry bar Ended up saying screw it for the day and I'll continue it another day. I guess on the plus side, gives me a reason to get a lexan windshield if i cant find a cheap glass one

Well there's going to be a setback on the build, looks like I will be shelling out money for a replacement window or trying to decide if its worth getting a Lexan windshield and save a couple pounds. May try and hit the junkyards and see if they have any 4th gens laying around. Kind of a bummer since the build was going pretty good so far, now I am just frustrated that it happened. Probably more at myself for not even thinking that the glass may shatter if i pressed to hard on it.
