Hmmmm. In the comment I just posted, brake "dick" should be brake "disk".

I went through the Grove wheel/brake maze a few days ago on my 601XL and figured it out. If you have the 5.00x5 wheel, the brakes won't fit on the axle unless a relief is cut in the edge of the gear leg and the bottom of the leg is rounded. The 6.00x6 wheels and brakes should fit without any modification to the gear legs. The caliper needs to be separated by removing the two bolts that hold the caliper halves together. This will let the inside part of the caliper fit between the tire and brake dick. Then, bolt the two caliper halves back together. Here are a couple of pictures that may help.
