You should carry your spare kotter pins in the under seat knick knak tray. Cheers.
lol, you got it right off :) 5 points to the man from Texas!
Wait what's wrong w/ the cotter pin?
The holes on the right side of the axels (both front & rear) are for a screwdriver, to turn the axel when removing it. it helps get it out. the cotter pin isn't needed because the right side of the axel is larger, & won't pass thru the bearing.

Ahh, I thought that was just a wierd setup on the 83 dual disk setup.
