1) lift her as usual

2) rest her under the crossmember with axlestands with one far away from the other as possible

3) give the kingpin a support at the lowerend/ down fixingplate. The spring must free of tension or only light tension.

4) undo the topscrew with the nipple and fit the BRB. Fix it in a way that I can move it in position.

5) now the surprise… I noticed some holes and hope they are matching the lower fixingpoint. But now, welcome in real world:
drill it.

6) fixing the top screw - is there a specific torque numbered?

7) fix the lower scr
8) fit the wheels and ground her back. Ready…

Due to lack of space you may have to drill from below, and this may be a hassle, as you do not know exactly where to put the drill on the underside of the chassis flange, to hit the hole t the lower end of the BRB. Here is what to do:
1.get a little piece of cardboard, fold it so the upper part goes between the lower end of the BRB and the flange, the lower part goes underneath.
2. With the BRB in place, mark it's hole on the upper side cardboard with a pencil marker.
3. Take the cardboard piece out, punch from above, both the upper and lower layer corresponding to the hole you marked.
4. Put the cardboard back, so the punched hole corresponds with the hole in the BRB.
5. You now have a hole in the cardboard piece on the underside, in the correct position, drill from below.
