1. Refer to photos 4-8 and locate the landing
gear, wheels, wheel pants, axles, wheel
collars and wheel pant mounting screws as
shown in photo 4.
2. Enlarge the existing hole on the inner side
of each wheel pant so that the axle nut will
just pass through the hole. Use
progressively larger drill bits to enlarge
the hole to help prevent chipping and to
keep the hole centered. See photo 5.
3. On the outer side of each wheel pant is a
molded depression. Drill a hole in each
wheel pant at this location that is large
enough for the head of the axle to pass
through. This hole will help with the
assembly process and final adjustment.
4. Referring to photo 6, assemble the
axle/wheel assemblies as follows: Take
an axle, slip a washer onto the axle
followed by a wheel, another washer and a
wheel collar. Do not tighten the wheel
collar yet and do not put the nuts on the
axles.
5. Slide the assembly into a wheel pant by
holding the wheel over the opening of the
wheel pant, pushing the head of the axle
screw into the wheel pant cut out and out
the hole on the outside of the wheel pant.
Pull the head of the screw outward until
the other end of the axle with the wheel
collar will drop into the opening where it
can be pushed through the hole in the
inner wheel pant side.
6. Thread an axle nut onto the axle such that
the flange part of the nut is facing toward
the end of the threads as shown in photo 6.
Thread the nut on so that approximately
5/8" of the threads are showing.
