drop of light machine oil on the axle to help the

secure the wheel using the shorter 4mm x 5mm
button head screw and 4mm washer removed
from the axle.
7. Slide the wheel into the wheel pant. You may
need to flex the pant open slightly to get the
wheel to fit.
8. Use the longer 4mm x 12mm button head screw
and 4mm washer to secure the wheel and wheel
pant to the landing gear. Use a 2.5mm hex wrench
or ball driver to tighten the screw. Use a 10mm
open-end wrench to hold the axle while tightening
the screw.
9. Repeat Steps 4 through 8 to install the remaining
wheel and wheel pant on the landing gear.
