Where to Mount the Brake Mounting Flange 4-44-1

Question:

Im not quite sure how the 4-44-1 flange works. It calls for a 3inch axle but the hole is only 2 3/4inch

I can see how that would throw you off. The Brake Mounting Flange for 3" Round Axle part # 4-44-1 is designed to mount onto the spindle just behind the seals it doesn't sit all the way inboard so it's not around the entire axle. I've included a picture to show you what I mean.
