TIRES AND CONTROL LINKAGES
ASSEMBLING THE WHEELS, STRUTS, AND AXLES
The sequence in the photo is the
axle, wheel, brake, and strut is
assembled. The two nylon
washers prevent the tire from
rubbing the strut under
compression and side loads.
After the assembly is completed,
snug down the setscrew on the
bottom of the strut with a 1/16”
Allen wrench just enough to
leave a faint mark on the axle.
TRIMMING THE AXLE
Remove the excess axle protruding from the lower strut
assembly. It is not necessary to make this flush; just enough
to prevent interference with optional gear doors or extend
beyond the wing’s lower skin.
AXLE FLAT SPOT
Disassemble the wheel and brake from the strut.
Use a Dremel with a #409 cut off disk to make a flat
spot on the axle.
