EB410.2 - Pre Build Advice, Please.

[kdecesari]

Before I begin tearing open any bags to build an EB410.2 , is there anything I should be aware of beforehand? I'm asking because during a recent EB48 2.1 build there was a bearing type-o that wasn't addressed that held me up for a few days while I sourced the right bearing. Fortunately a buddy who also has the same model had an extra bearing to hand off to me. However, this time I am solo without a buddy who has built one already to provide the guidance or extra part support.
Thank you!

I don't recall can issues building mine. It went very smooth.

I haven't had any build issues with any of their kits.

Those set screws, that secure the kingpin shoulder screws, require a delicate touch. Very easy to strip the plastic. To better feel them snugging down, I semi pre thread the spindles. I insert them 3/4 of the way in, then back them out a bit before finishing snugging them down with only thumb and index finger on hex driver handle.

Speaking of spindles, I always keep spare kingpin shoulder screws on hand.

@rfulcher, @nub & @RustyUs
Thanks for the replies. They are greatly appreciated.

I’ll be mindful of those kingpin shoulder screws too.
