   2) Now, try to remove the rear axle: to do this, remove 2 little pieces of fused plastic that keep the axle attached to the chassis.

   3) After this, trace with a felt-tip pen a nick of about 3/4 mm. The colored piece will be removed with a hot cutter (in this way, you will easily cut the plastic).

   8) Now, look this sketch: it represents the front cross section. On the left there is the situation before the modification, on the right there is the situation after the modification.

   11) Now we need to create the shim on the inferior crossbar. To do this, we can use plasticard: with this material, we need to create a shape with the same dimensions of the support and then we need to recreate the hole to host the wheel's pivot. After this process, glue the new shims to the inferior crossbar and then reinstall the front axle on the chassis; screw it on the chassis and now you could notice the height is perfect.
