I like the way Tracy O'brian has his brake setup, it works just like the brakes on the F-16's at work. The brake stays fixed to the airplane and does not interfere will the removal of the wheel. These brakes are his C-90 brakes with the KR axle and lower bracket as one unit. I will take a picture of the axle bracket setup soon.

Here you can see how the pins lock into the brake rotor, this becomes your caliper and only one pad is moved by the brake pedal.

You can see that the bolts are extended pass the nut and turn into three pins that will fit into the brake rotor setup. The bolts are aircraft grade stainless steel pins.
