look down into the hole on the otherside and get them lined up.. its just high tolerance fit.
it took me like 15mins of playing, then it went in snugly. put the screw in and boom-- butter.

another thing that may help is to put your 1.5mm driver into the other side, all the way thru (w/ the pin out) then wiggle it in a circular motion to line it up. then put the pin thru, pushing the driver out. that is how i did it exactly.

edit.. wait.. what's the issue? Why do you have the 2.5mm cap screw in before the hingpin? You put the hing pin in through the arm first, the long end sticking out the front of the car... then make sure the flat spot lines up with the set screw in the middle... and THEN you cap off the other end with the 2.5 so the pin cant come out.

Guys thanks for the responses. So I put the cap screw in first - and a wrong 3x6 screw! So I am guessing the cap screw hole and nub at the end bulged out excessively, causing the hole that will carry the hinge pin to narrow.
Had a quick look at the rb5 to confirm, out came the xacto, took off the protruding plastics and nub, reamed the arm holes smooth, including the sus holder (chewy type plastic, took a while). Sanded the face of the holes smooth. Slop was the last thing on my mind it was binding so bad!
Much better now. Almost 2am I should build when awake! Thanks all

hoping for round 2 at the track tommorow(if work permits, damn railroad) im gonna bring a shorty pack to try also and see how it compares vs the saddle packs, im assuming the saddle packs would have less body roll than the shorty because they weight is distributed over a wider area, but i could be wrong. ill let everyone know my findings

Oh no, I know exactly what it's like! I took 3 benedril right before I started my build yesterday (extreme allergy attack). Took me 8 hours to get through just the front end, before you start the diff. At one point I realized it took me almost 30 minutes just to turn the page after I was done with the last step of the previous page.

ha good catch.
i made a rule to myself, no building after 1030. that way i'm not tired and i can coherently recall what/why i was doing things the way i did the next day.
unless i have a race coming up the next day.. thats a whole other story

Mistakes not only happen they compound over each other. But I won't go into that. Sorry, back to the rb6 topic.

You know those metal pillars that go through the steering rack? So here I am frantically trying to mount it to the chassis, going over the 6(?) holes in the front plate. Won't fit no matter what I try. Go back to the manual, and it's suppose to fit right through FLUSH to the bulkhead! I mean when you're not awake even your common sense goes out the window.

has anyone found metal shims to replace ALL of the factory plastics, preferably red?
thats one thing i liked about the Durango, it had additional touches that oozed sexiness.
