Step 1.    Only one step on this page.  Just trim the material from both ends of the two HS-1013 front spar caps, the HS-1014 long stringer, and the HS-1015 short stringer.  It's not all that critical a cut.  Again, just give yourself some extra material that can sacrifice itself when you clean it up on the scotch brite wheel.  It shouldn't take you as much time as it took me.

Here is the line for the cut.  Just draw it as pictured, from on notch to the other.  

HOWEVER!  The line was drawn on the wrong side.  See below


I cut the first cap like you see in the top picture, which, of course, made the edges slanted.  I cleaned it up okay, but it's not the way to do it.  The only reason I did it that way was because I thought it'd be easier and more stable.  Actually, that's probably not even the reason.  I just screwed up. 

Mark and cut on the other side, as shown in the bottom picture.
